The MArts Anthropology with Innovation at the University of Bristol offers you a unique pathway to understand the complexities of human societies while developing the skills to drive future change. This four-year undergraduate degree is designed for intellectually curious students who are fascinated by cultural diversity, social structures, and the evolution of human behaviour, and who are eager to translate these insights into practical, innovative solutions. You will delve into core anthropological concepts and methodologies, exploring topics such as material culture, social theories, and human evolution, while simultaneously engaging with design thinking and innovation processes.
Studied full-time on campus over four years, your learning journey will be both academic and experiential. You will undertake a transdisciplinary group project in your second year, tackling real-world problems alongside students from diverse disciplines like engineering and business. In your final year, you will have the opportunity to complete a substantial dissertation or engage in a work placement, applying your anthropological knowledge and innovative thinking to a chosen area. You will graduate with a robust understanding of anthropology and a portfolio of innovative projects, prepared for careers in fields ranging from cultural heritage and policy to social enterprise and new venture creation.
