Course Overview

You will learn to compare and analyze these societies in order to figure out what humans have in common, and the ways in which we differ. Your travels will teach you that the exotic is, on close scrutiny, rather familiar. And like all good adventures, anthropology will teach you something about yourself.

Guided by world-leading teachers, you will become an expert in managing cultural diversity, and perfectly placed to help people respond to the many (and increasing) political, environmental, economic and cultural challenges that beset them. Anthropology at Plymouth mixes social and applied anthropology in a unique offer within the UK that allows you to explore personal topics of interest, obtain vocational training, and learn by participating in real fieldwork.

As an anthropologist, you will possess many skills. You will learn how to communicate clearly and coherently, and how to work effectively alone or in groups. At Plymouth, you will become fluent in qualitative research, able to navigate the practicalities and ethics of data-collection. Above all, anthropologists become expert translators, brokers, and negotiators between different cultural groups – be they religions, ethnicities, classes, genders, etc. 

This will allow you to pursue many different career options. Anthropologists have worked as consultants and directors in the following contexts, all of which are becoming more important in the age of globalisation: 

  • Museum Curatorship
  • Environmental Conservation 
  • Development  
  • Public Health and Epidemic 
  • Advocacy 
  • Market Research 
  • Inclusivity and Human Resources 
  • Engaging in Multiculturalism Campaigns
  • Journalism
  • Fiction Writers
