• In the first year, students take compulsory modules covering the three branches of the program: biological anthropology, social anthropology, and material culture. Biological anthropology focuses on contemporary human-environment interactions and human evolution. Social anthropology explores social and cultural differences and their determinants, from indigenous groups to modern western economies. Material culture studies human, social, and environmental relationships through the evidence of people's construction of their material world. 
  • The second-year includes compulsory modules Anthropological Research Methods and Being Human, and students can select five optional modules.
  • The third year will be spent abroad, where you study anthropology at a foreign university.
  • In the final year, students will return to UCL where they select five optional modules and complete an independent research project for their dissertation. 
  • Upon successful completion of 360 credits, students will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Anthropology with a Year Abroad.
