For more than 50 years, Anthropology at Sussex has been at the forefront of anthropology's engagement with real-world problems. Anthropology gives you an in-depth understanding of global cultures and societies, helping you to grasp your place in the world, so you can make a difference.

You’ll learn from experts who influence debate on topics such as gender relations, migration, economic and political inequality, religion, health and reproduction.

Combining anthropology and international development helps you understand how development interventions affect communities across the world. You’ll also explore the impact of economic growth on social and cultural change.

Our Anthropology and International Development BA gives you the skills to go on to research and further study, as well as work in:

• development and environment
• charity and voluntary sector
• politics and the Civil Service.

Sussex students also have opportunities to attend specialist careers talks, drop-in sessions and workshops with industry representatives and potential employers. Recent events have included ‘Career Options in Global Studies’ and the chance to find out about placements and graduate programmes with the Department of Work and Pensions.
