BSc Anthropology

United Kingdom

Durham University - Study Group

Course Overview

The Anthropology Department also has anthropometric equipment, a skeletal collection, a fossil cast collection, a material culture collection, and other practical resources that are used in relevant modules, and you may also be able to use these independently, to supplement your learning or for project work. As you move through your BSc Anthropology degree, you will shift from being a consumer of knowledge in the classroom to a generator of knowledge, ready for professional or postgraduate life. To help develop this independence, you will spend part of your time engaged in self-directed study, which will include reading, project work, and preparation for classes. In your third year, you will undertake a dissertation on an anthropological topic of your choice, giving you the chance to engage in a major piece of independent work. Assessment on the BSc Anthropology degree varies by the module but may include written examinations, coursework in the form of essays or research projects, and presentations.
