Anthropology, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

Anthropology provides a profound approach to exploring cultural and social diversity in today's world, addressing contemporary challenges such as multiculturalism, identity politics, racism, ethnic nationalism, family dynamics, religious conflicts, gender issues, and the role of culture in politics. It also tackles timeless questions about human nature, including what unites us across cultures and what sets us apart, making it an ideal discipline for those seeking to enrich their lives and prepare for diverse careers.Brunel's rigorous four-year programme begins with foundational modules on key anthropological themes and fieldwork practices. Students can choose from pathways like general Anthropology, Childhood, Youth and Education, Global Health, or Development, War and Humanitarian Assistance. In later years, pathway-specific and optional modules allow for specialization, complemented by global fieldwork opportunities that foster practical experience and professional networks. With a culturally diverse campus and access to trips like those to the Pitt Rivers Museum, the course emphasizes real-world engagement.
