BA Anthropology and History: University of Sussex

About the programme

Anthropologists study cultural and social diversity. Historically, they studied so-called ‘small-scale’ and ‘traditional’ societies. Increasingly, anthropologists are concerned with towns and cities in a modern and changing world.

During the first two years of this degree you combine the core history and anthropology courses. In Year 3, you pursue an in-depth study of specialised topics drawn from both areas of study: the history core courses; an Anthropology of Religion, or Anthropology of Economic Processes option; and an option from Advanced Topics in Anthropology.
