Anthropology (BA)

Our BA Anthropology course offers a unique opportunity to explore the social, material, linguistic and evolutionary aspects of human experience. Our programme provides the key skills and knowledge required to apply anthropological theory and research techniques to address the major contemporary challenges facing humanity. For example, the impacts of climate change, technological innovation and deepening health inequalities. You will receive training in both qualitative and quantitative anthropological methodologies and descriptive, analytic, interpretative and visual techniques. This will prepare you to undertake fieldwork in communities in Bristol and further afield. Original research inspires all our teaching and your degree culminates with you producing a substantial final-year dissertation on a topic of your choice. Whether you are interested in the study of humankind present or past, from Amazonia to Avon, you will be able to explore the topics that inspire you and fire your imagination. In your first year, you will take a series of units introducing you to the fundamental ideas and principles of social, linguistic and evolutionary anthropology. Your second and third years allow greater specialisation in key skills, regional foci and current debates in anthropology. You will develop transferable skills in a broad range of research methods and theoretical frameworks employed by anthropologists seeking to inform policy and practice today. The final year dissertation research project provides you with an opportunity to put theory into practice, making a contribution to the discipline, and also to wider society. There is also an option to build your employability skills further by completing a work placement with an external partner such as an NGO, community organisation or museum. We accept a wide variety of qualifications and welcome applications from students of all backgrounds. Below is a guide to the typical offers for this course.
