Anthropology and Sociology BA
Queen's University BelfastBelfast, United Kingdom
Course overview
This degree programme provides students with an education in two key closely related disciplines, anthropology and sociology. Social anthropology is the study of the social life of humankind and how this varies across different human cultures and societies past and present. Sociology developed as the scientific study of human society with a focus on social structure, social reproduction and social change and on how groups and individuals are influenced by norms, roles, and institutions.
Together, the two disciplines provide students with a well-rounded understanding of human social life, including its range, cultural diversity and development over time, while also identifying the applied potential of this area of learning to the world we live in today.
