3.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law, and Social Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Anthropology

Program Description

Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career.

Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Bristol.

The University of Bristol is a highly ranked Russell Group university with a fantastic reputation. Students will join a global community of students from more than 150 countries, and enjoy life in one of the UK’s most exciting cities.

The BA Anthropology course offers a unique opportunity to explore the social, material, linguistic and biological aspects of human experience.

The programme provides the necessary skills and knowledge required to learn and apply theory and research techniques used across the discipline. Students will use these to address the major challenges people face, from the impacts of climate change on communities, to the transformation of work by platform technologies.

Students will receive training in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies and in descriptive, analytic, interpretative, and visual techniques. This will prepare them to undertake fieldwork in communities in Bristol and further afield.

In the first year students will take a series of units introducing them to social, linguistic and biological anthropology and anthropological approaches to material culture. In the second year they can choose from a range of optional units on specific themes and geographical regions.

The third year provides an opportunity to pursue a specialist area of interest, working closely with a member of staff to write a dissertation on an original topic.
