Anthropology and sociology are naturally complementary fields of study due to their common emphasis on understanding humans as part of wider cultural and social groups.
This degree combines modules from the BA Anthropology and BA Sociology degrees, providing a comprehensive understanding of humans as social and cultural beings.
Based around a central core of theory and methods, the degree is highly flexible, allowing you to choose subjects across both disciplines. The course emphasises the application of theory and concepts to real-world cases. You will carry out a supervised research project and you can choose to take a placement with a local community organisation and make use of your knowledge in an applied setting.
