Social anthropology is an extremely broad subject overlapping with many others, including sociology, politics, history, economics and social geography. As a student on our BA Anthropology programme, you would study how humans form communities, such as families and religious groups, and how human communities are responding to current challenges such as economic crises and climate change. Studying social anthropology equips you with skills that are transferable to a number of professional contexts, including designing research, maintaining ethical standards and navigating cultural differences.
