Bachelor of Arts (Combined Hons) in Social Anthropology and Politics

Program Overview

BA Anthropology and Politics enables you to build a degree programme that suits your interests.

Studying undergraduate Anthropology will enable you to develop a distinctive set of skills and attributes.  You will learn how to search for, select from and evaluate sources of information, weigh up arguments, and present your findings effectively. As an anthropologist however, you will also become sensitive to the assumptions and beliefs that underlie behaviour in a range of social and cultural contexts, and this gives you a critical edge.  

A knowledge of politics helps you to understand what governments do, shedding light on how some of history’s pivotal events were motivated by the political leaders of the day. You learn to find your way among different arguments, rival theories and alternative explanations and about campaigns, elections, protest movements, policy issues and political ideals. It also teaches you a great deal about human nature. Politics is not only what political scientists study, but also an activity in which professional politicians, civil servants and ordinary citizens take part.

The first year of the degree course gives you a thorough grounding of Anthropology and Politics to assist you in choosing from a wide range of modules in the second and final year.
