Anthropology (with Foundation Year) Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) or Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BA/BSc (H)

Our world faces immense challenges: from conflict and poverty to wildlife conservation. We need people with skills to respond.

Anthropology with a Foundation Year starts with learning essential skills to prepare you for degree-level study. Passing this foundation year leads to our Anthropology BA/BSc which covers both social and biological aspects of this fascinating discipline. You will explore our origins, our interactions with nature and contemporary human relations.

Through field trips, work-based learning, lectures and seminars – led by world-class published academics – you’ll gain highly employable skills.

A cross-cultural focus will take you into case studies – drawn from the research of your lecturers – in places like Japan, Indonesia, Sierra Leone, India, Madagascar, South Africa and Spain.

There are opportunities to study abroad and many extra-curricular activities. You'll build your own degree or select one of our exciting pathways focused on social, biological or combined aspects of anthropology:


• Human Origins,



• International Development & Conservation



• Human Cultures.
