Our degree programme
In your first year, you study the fundamentals of sociology and anthropology. You then learn how to conduct and apply qualitative and quantitative sociological research with a particular focus on ethnographic research practices popular in social anthropology.

During all stages of your studies, you have the opportunity to choose specialist modules that suit your interests and include topics like the anthropology of business, environmentalism, gender, political change, crime, race, violence and work.

In your final year of study, there is an option to take a dissertation module on a subject of your choice. This allows you to focus in detail on an area you are particularly passionate about.
