3-Term Pathway - Undergraduate Foundation Programme - Humanities, Law, and Social Science - Transfer to Master of Arts in Anthropology

Covering a broad range of subjects all designed to help you learn more about the world, social sciences and humanities have been studied for thousands of years and have helped to shape society. Choose an Undergraduate Foundation Programme in Humanities, Law and Social Science and progress into the second year of degree study at the University of Aberdeen. Based in the International Study Centre at the heart of the University campus, this one-year program allows you to graduate in the typical four years of a Scottish degree.

The three terms you spend with us at the International Study Centre will introduce you to the Scottish education system. You will study modules approved by the University of Aberdeen, with additional English language classes designed to help you succeed on your degree. This pathway is divided into three subject routes, each with their own designated and elective modules, as well as core modules studied by all.

Once you have completed your Undergraduate Foundation Programme and achieved the necessary grades, you can transition to the second year of your chosen undergraduate degree. The University of Aberdeen is one of the ancient universities of Scotland, where four-year undergraduate degrees are referred to as Masters of Arts, or MA degrees. This is equivalent to an undergraduate BA degree.

Anthropology at Aberdeen is a wide and fascinating exploration of humankind and what it means to ‘be human’, the differences in human cultures and societies and how they have developed across the world, and a special focus on the northern polar countries and their links to north east Scotland. Our program is a brilliant foundation for many careers, and scores 100% satisfaction with students.
