Investigate the world of anthropology from a new angle. The BA Anthropology programme offers a challenging and contemporary syllabus, exploring key anthropological debates, and using them to help you understand contemporary societal and cultural issues.<br/><br/>**Why study BA Anthropology at Goldsmiths**<br/>- We offer a fresher approach to the subject than other institutions – from the impact of austerity economics, to investigating how the creative arts can tackle inequality, you’ll learn much more than just ‘traditional’ anthropology. You’ll look at the subject from a contemporary perspective, and be able to apply what you learn in lectures to your everyday life.<br/><br/><br/>- In the first two years, you’ll concentrate on basic anthropological concepts, such as kinship, ritual, world systems, and development. Youll also learn to analyse these concepts using video, film and written texts, and you’ll get to study two regions of the world in depth.<br/><br/><br/>- In your final year you’ll be able to specialise by choosing a selection of option modules, tailoring your degree to your own interests and aspirations. Youll have the opportunity to investigate anthropology in relation to politics, religion, philosophy and psychology in order to develop an interdisciplinary perspective of the subject.<br/><br/><br/>- Youll explore links between theoretical issues and ethnographic studies, enabling you to think critically about culture and society in Britain, and around the world. Our graduates have gone on to work for the UN, World Bank, NGOs, law companies and corporate social responsibility (CSR) consultancies.<br/>
