Anthropology with Study Abroad

Anthropology is the study of humans, their societies, cultures, and biological evolution across time and space. It seeks to understand the complexity of human experience by exploring the diverse ways people live, think, and interact with their environments across the globe.

As an Anthropology BSc student, you will study a broad base of anthropological disciplines spanning our evolution as a species, as well as our relationship with the material and digital worlds. You will be introduced to key theories and research methodologies, alongside practical learning through direct engagement with objects, photographs and hominin and primate specimens from the UCL Ethnography and Biological Anthropology Collections.

The course is enriched by teaching that draws on the department’s cutting-edge research, which spans a fascinating variety of contemporary topics that range from the cultural impacts of new digital media and the enduring influence of coloniality, to social and environmental sustainability and interactions on NASA space missions.

In Year 3, you will spend the year abroad, studying with one of our partner institutions and enhancing your knowledge by connecting with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, engaging with new traditions, developing your interpersonal skills, and preparing yourself for an increasingly interconnected world.
