UEL’s BSc (Hons) Anthropology programme is the only one in the UK that links biological and social anthropology. To understand what human cultures are, it is necessary to know how they differ from ape societies, which requires a study of both. The programme enables you to combine a traditional route through social anthropology with modules in biological science, palaeontology and archaeology This degree incorporates a sandwich year at the University of New Mexico, USA, to study modules in biosocial behaviour, the archaeology of the southwest, and the social origins of Pueblo societies.
