Study & Experience

Anthropology is a challenging and fascinating subject. Whether you want to explore the subject through a few short courses, or pursue an entire degree there are increasing opportunities to study anthropology at all levels through distance and face to face learning. Volunteering, travelling, and taking part in archaeological digs, or doing an internship offer great ways to supplement your studies and expose yourself to the diversity that anthropology has to offer. This section provides information on studying anthropology from pre-university education to continuing and distance learning programmes, as well as information, case studies and resources on gap year, volunteering and internship experiences.
