Program Overview


Overview

This course combines the expertise of our staff and research across two closely related disciplines to develop your knowledge and skills in both Human Geography and Anthropology.

Human Geography explores the complex relationships between societies and environments that are at the centre of the most important challenges that face people around the world today.

Anthropology offers a unique and powerful understanding of cultural and social diversity in the modern world. It considers issues which can lead to mind blowing revelations about how individuals and cultures experience life differently.

In the first year you will have an introduction to the fundamentals of both subject areas, and in the second and third years you will choose from a wide range of modules, choosing half from each subject. Within Human Geography, modules focus particularly around themes of cities and urbanism; post colonialism, race and migration; and political ecology and environmental justice. Key themes in Anthropology are childhood, youth and education; development, war and humanitarianism; and global health.

Both subject areas offer opportunities to learn about the world immersively through fieldwork, developing skills that will make you highly employable. All students do a residential geography field trip in the first year and can opt to do another in the second year.

Together these two subjects compliment each other and provide you with graduate opportunities in local and national government, international organisations, NGOs, the media, research and education.

You can explore our campus and facilities for yourself by taking our virtual tour.

Program Outline

Course content

Your programme is split up into three different types of modules:

  • Compulsory module:

    one which all students registered for the award are required to take as part of their programme of study.
  • Optional module:

    one which students choose from an ‘option range’.
  • A

    core assessment

    is an assessment within a module which must be passed in order to progress and to be eligible for the final award.
  • This course can be studied 3 years full-time or 4 years full-time with placement, starting in September.

    Careers and your future

    A Human Geography and Anthropology degree from Brunel is your passport to a wide range of career destinations. You will acquire knowledge and understanding that is highly relevant to current world challenges, as well as an array of skills that will set you apart from other graduates.

    Fieldwork, in particular, requires you to practice skills in real-world settings. Not only will you learn to plan, collect and analyse data, but you'll also become adept at working in an unfamiliar environment, taking account of relevant ethical and safety issues, interacting respectfully with people, and problem-solving as a group and individually.

    If you opt for the four-year degree you will undertake one or two sandwich placements, either in an employment situation or undertaking extended fieldwork (almost) anywhere in the world. You will be fully supported in preparing for the placement and building a stronger CV.

    In the third year, you can opt for the module ‘Leadership for Change’ in which you will work with other students and with a community organisation on a project that will further develop your employability skills.

    Our course prepares you for careers in different fields including the local and national government, the environmental sector, international development, leisure and tourism, media and communications, planning, research, and academia.



    Assessment and feedback

    You’ll be assessed by a combination of coursework and exams, but most of your time will be spent in private study and reading. In your final year, you will produce a final dissertation on a subject of your choice under the guidance of a dissertation supervisor.

    English Language Requirements

    All courses at Brunel have an English language requirement. This is listed on your

    course page

    under 'entry criteria'.

    If you need an English test, we recommend booking one early

    as there can be a long wait in some areas. You can also take our Brunel English Language Test (

    BrunELT

    ).



    What level of English do I need?

    In general, our courses ask for an English level of between IELTS 6.0 and 7.0 or equivalent. Some courses will have higher requirements (and will require you to also reach minimum sub-scores), so please

    check your course page

    for the exact level

    .

    If you do not meet the required level of English, you can take one of our

    pre-sessional courses

    .


    What English qualifications does Brunel accept?

    English qualifications we currently accept for degree level study include those listed below. We accept a wide range of other qualifications, so if you are unsure please get in touch with us on


    What English qualifications do I need if I wish to study English at Brunel before my degree course?

    If you need to study English before starting your degree, you should take one of the following tests at

    an approved test centre

    in order to apply for a Student visa:

  • IELTS (Academic) for UKVI SELT (minimum of IELTS 4 for overall and sub-scores)
  • LanguageCert International ESOL SELT (B1 level or above, Pass overall and  33 for each part)
  • Trinity College Integrated Skills in English (ISE) (Ievel 1 or above, both modules)
  • Pearson PTE Academic UKVI (43 for each part)
  • Find out more about exams you can take to obtain a Student visa:

    IELTS (Academic) for UKVI,

    LanguageCert International ESOL SELT

    ,

    Trinity College Integrated Skills in English (ISE)

    , and

    Pearson PTE Academic

    .  For further details,

    contact us

    .


    I don't need to study English before I start my degree. Do I still need to provide proof of English language?

    All international students must show evidence that they meet the English requirement for their course of study. This applies even if English is the native language of your home country. If this is the case, a pass at high school level which is equivalent to GCSE Grade C or above is sometimes acceptable. Please see your

    country page

    for more information.

    If you don't need to study English before your degree and don't have relevant high school qualifications, we can still accept a non-UKVI-approved IELTS from an official test centre with the required scores. However, should you not achieve the required scores for your degree course, you will not be able to use this IELTS to apply for a Tier 4 visa for a pre-sessional English course in the UK. In some circumstances, if you don't have a UKVI IELTS, you may be able to attend an English course with a Short Term Study visa.
