Join our BA (Hons) Anthropology with Foundation programme and benefit from a foundation year specially designed to support you in developing all the essential skills for success in higher education. From remote coastal communities to online and digital realms, immerse yourself in the variety of cultures on our doorstep and beyond to build your understanding of the world and your role in it. Learn by doing, whether that’s collecting stories from refugees housed in the region, working with local communities to understand how different people engage with sport or using our location on the edge of the peninsula to explore the importance of the sea to coastal communities. At their heart, anthropologists are cultural translators. Become an expert in managing cultural diversity, guided by world-leading academics, and be perfectly placed to help respond to the many (and increasing) political, environmental, economic and cultural challenges we face in society. Explore what humans have in common, and the ways in which we differ, and what this means for tackling social challenges. Look into aspects of human culture that are often overlooked in society. At Plymouth, your degree really is what you make it. From the second year, you can choose to add in modules from across the School of Society & Culture’s 17 disciplines, broadening your perspective with a focus on subjects like Law or Criminology or honing your ability to write creatively about other cultures with a module on Creative Writing. With a focus in your learning on the skills we know employers are looking for – from communication to critical thinking and analysis – you’ll get to apply your skills in relevant settings through our links with local charities, small businesses and community groups. What our students think: “Our lecturer has always been on hand both to aid us academically and care for us as individuals.” – Gregor Sime, BA (Hons) Anthropology

In your foundation year, you’ll you acquire the knowledge and skills you’ll need to progress through your studies and become a confident, independent learner. In your first year, we introduce you to the core of the discipline. You will learn how to think like an anthropologist, comparing data from across the worlds to make solid statements about human behaviour. You will also have the chance to start actually doing your own ethnographic fieldwork, not just reading about it! In your second year, you will further develop your social scientific research skills, and get to practice more advanced ethnographic fieldwork techniques (such as multi-species and multi-sensory ethnography, and participant observation of digital worlds). You will be also able to explore many specialist subjects, and start to identify the topic you’d like to explore for your dissertation. In your final year, you will work closely with your personal supervisor and use all the skills you’ve learned to produce an anthropological dissertation on a topic of your choice. At the same time, you will also take on the role of live consultant to apply anthropology to solve a particular problem, ideally in an area in which you wish to work or pursue further study.
