Pursuing a BA in Social Anthropology and History at the University of Birmingham equips you to critically examine both present-day societies and historical contexts in their full diversity. You'll venture into uncharted intellectual terrain while challenging dominant narratives, examining cultural assumptions, and reevaluating historical interpretations that shape our understanding of today's key issues.
This undergraduate program merges social anthropology's modern, analytical, and cross-cultural approach with historical exploration spanning medieval, early modern, and contemporary periods across Britain, Europe, and global contexts. Following comprehensive foundational studies in both fields during your first year, you'll gain the flexibility to tailor your academic journey through diverse elective modules in subsequent years. The program culminates with an opportunity to produce an original research project, either in Social Anthropology or History, during your final year.
