About this course
MA (Hons) in Social Anthropology and Social Policy, a social policy and anthropology degree focused on human conduct, societal variation, and policy analysis. Core topics include Research Methods. The programme combines perspectives from both disciplines across a four-year undergraduate structure. The first year introduces foundational themes through compulsory study of gender, personhood, work and making a living, the house, consumption and exchange, health, the body, climate change, hunger, wellbeing, body modification, human rights, social needs, social problems, and social rights. Year 3 advances studies with compulsory modules including Analytical Perspectives in Social Policy and Imagining Anthropological Research, which prepares students for the dissertation.
