General information

 Bachelor's Degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology

The bachelor’s degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology uses a local, global and multicultural approach to train professionals in the study of human diversity and the skills needed to take on and resolve contemporary problems from a social and cultural dimension.

The degree provides solid scientific, theoretical and practical training. It will teach you how to think critically and equip you with the tools needed to face emerging needs for intervention and the design of public policies in challenging areas of today’s society, such as the study of social inequalities, urban and environmental adversities, migration, poverty, gender relations, health and wellbeing, conflicts, etc.

This bachelor’s degree stands out for its capacity to prepare students to work professionally as anthropologists. The study plan offers a sequence of technical and methodological subjects which end with a Bachelor’s Degree Final Project. It was also recently awarded an AQU seal for academic quality. Students can complement their studies at the UAB with work placements in more than 30 public and private entities.
