About the course
For more than 50 years, Anthropology at Sussex has been at the forefront of anthropology's engagement with real-world problems. Anthropology gives you an in-depth understanding of global cultures and societies, helping you to grasp your place in the world, so you can make a difference.
You’ll learn from experts who influence debate on topics such as gender relations, migration, economic and political inequality, religion, health and reproduction.
Combining anthropology with a language gives you the tools to better understand the culture and society of the countries in which your chosen language is spoken. Choose one language from Arabic, British Sign Language, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, or you can choose to study English Language Teaching.
