International Development with Anthropology with a Placement Year

Overview

Through the  International Development with Anthropology with a Placement Year BA course from the University of East Anglia you’ll explore all aspects of cultural diversity. At the same time, you’ll discover how aspects of international development such as economic growth, and social and cultural transformation, can affect people’s lives. You’ll have the opportunity to draw on other disciplines such as economics, geography and politics to better understand how policy and practice can be improved through greater anthropological engagement. Within UEA’s School of International Development you’ll develop practical skills in key anthropological methods while developing your interest in specific subject areas. In the world-renowned Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts you’ll study material culture.

You’ll also have the opportunity to learn a language (e.g. French and Spanish) and participate in a filmmaking for development workshop.
