Anthropology and English BA
Queen's University BelfastBelfast, United Kingdom
Course overview
Students undertaking Anthropology and English at Queen’s explore the variety and richness of human experience. Anthropology is the study of human diversity around the world. In studying anthropology, you will learn how different societies live together and think about such topics as family, sex, religion, art, politics and economics and gain skills increasingly in demand in a globalized and automated world Students undertaking English at Queen's explore literatures in English in the widest possible sense and work with some of the leading writers working in the UK and Ireland.
From the earliest writings in Anglo-Saxon to contemporary Irish, British, and 'global' literatures, students study English in its historical, cultural, and material contexts. Our language modules explore the history, structure, and function of English; its day-to-day usage, including in the media; and the major influences that have shaped its development. Our creative writing modules allow students on that programme to specialise in prose fiction, poetry, and scriptwriting.
Together, Anthropology and English open windows onto worlds, real and imagined, that differ from our own.
