Additional information

Teaching and Assessment Teaching Our courses are ethnographically grounded, covering a broad range of issues and societies across the world, from rural Java to the urban centres of South Africa. Our programmes are split into modules, each of which deals with a distinct topic. Our approach We pursue excellence in both teaching and research. Our aim is to produce degree programmes that combine innovative and classical teaching methods with leading-edge research, and which recognise the value of practical work experience in the learning process. We take great pride in both the quality of teaching and the extensive pastoral care of our students. As a student at Brunel you will also be assigned a tutor who will oversee your academic and personal development during your degree. The latest thinking All our modules are run by lecturers who are actively conducting research and publishing on these issues, so you will be taught by real specialists in the field. Their innovative findings ensure that teaching is topical and interesting. How will I be taught? Like most social science subjects, Anthropology and Sociology is taught through a mixture of lectures and small discussion groups or seminars. For each module, you will usually attend one lecture and one seminar every week. You will need to spend much of the rest of your time in the library studying independently, or, depending on your assignments, out in the field conducting interviews or undertaking participant observation. Lectures: Most modules involve one or two hours of lectures a week. These provide a broad overview of key concepts and ideas relating to your course and provide you with a framework from which to carry out more in depth study.. Seminars: These relatively small groups are used to discuss the content of lectures and issues arising from the modules rest. The final year dissertation is worth a third of Level 3 marks. We want each of our students to fulfil their potential. Brunel also offers great advice...
