Social Anthropology (available as a BA or a BSc)

Anthropology is a life-changing discipline. It shows you the incredible diversity of human experience, offering insights into ways of living that you might never have considered before. But it also forces you to confront challenging philosophical questions about what it is that makes us, as humans, so different – and about what we might nevertheless have in common.

The LSE course is designed for imaginative, critical thinkers who are passionate about understanding why the world is as it is – and about using the insights anthropology provides to make it better
