Anthropology is about “making sense of other people’s worlds, translating their experiences and explaining what they are up to, how their societies work and why they believe in whatever it is that they believe in” (Erksen 2006) Social and cultural anthropology is the study of different cultures and human societies, understanding what makes us different to different human beings across different societies.

The study of social and cultural anthropology enables students to develop an understanding of a range of contemporary issues in our society such as war and conflict, the environment, poverty, injustice, inequality and human and cultural rights. It enables students to examine how society is changing and what life is like to live in these different societies.
