This A Level can lead to higher education courses, universities or employment What will I be doing on the course? Anthropology is the study of what it means to be human in diverse societies around the world today and how people interact with, and change their environments. AS Anthropology will offer students the chance to grapple with fundamental questions of human life, and in the process to develop skills of critical enquiry, sensitivity and an appreciation of topical debates and issues such as those concerning human rights, development, globalisation, and ethnic conflict and violence.

Additional Notes

For full time students the course will form part of a larger programme of study which consists of timetabled sessions, enrichment activities, work experience and private study time. To achieve this a student will normally be asked to select from columns of the 6th Form matrix in each year of study. If a student falls below this programme requirement they may be classed as part time by some external agencies and may be required to pay fees for their tuition and/or exams. Please check with the tutor at interview that the subjects you have selected form a full-time programme. Every full time 6th Form student will have a personal tutor and will study a tutorial programme. The tutor will be responsible for the pastoral care of the student and for the tracking and monitoring of their progress on the course. This subject can be selected on its own for part time study for which tuition fees may be payable (please consult Student Services for fee concessions). Part time students may also be required to pay exam fees. You may have the opportunity to go on trips during the year. A small charge will be payable for these visits.

Case Studies

Daniel A Levels: Archaeology and Anthropology Daniel, 22 from Cheltenham achieved an A* and B in his A Level exams and an A in A Level Archaeology. He is also currently studying for an open degree in Psychology with the Open University and will begin a second open degree in Science in October. “I returned to GC last September to complete A Levels in Archaeology and Anthropology despite having already completed A Levels in History and Psychology last year where I achieved an A* and B respectively. I chose to come to Gloucestershire College when I decided I wanted to go back into education and also relocate. GC Sixth Form has a great choice of subjects on offer and the teachers are great! The college provided me with Open University advice. Before I came here I had never considered the Open University, I have completed an open degree in Psychology and am now studying for my second open degree.”
