Welcome
The London Anthropology Day is an annual university taster day for Year 12, 13, FE students, careers advisers and teachers.
The event is held at the British Museum's Education Clore Centre. On the day, participants get to learn what anthropology is about, the types of careers anthropologists do, and gain hands-on experience of what it is like to study the subject at university. Anthropology lecturers from all over the UK provide interactive workshops on the day. Students are able to learn about the types of university degrees and various specialisations of participating universities. The event also provides participants with the opportunity to look around the Museum’s “ethnographic” (anthropological) galleries and interact with anthropology students who are volunteers for the day. The day is free and open to Year 12, 13 and FE Students, UCAS Advisers, AimHigher co-ordinators and teachers.
The next London Anthropology Day is July 14th 2011. Bookings will open in April so make sure to re-visit the site around that time in order to register well in advance for the event. LAD 2010 was a brilliant success with over 350 participants attending and 18 universities with representatives from England, Ireland and Wales, making 2010 the largest national outreach event in Britain.
On this website you can find out more details about the day, book a free place, request publicity material for your school or college and find out what anthropology is about and why you might want to study it! You can also follow links to the participating universities' web-pages where you can find out all about the particular anthropology degrees they offer.
This event is organised by the Royal Anthropological Institute's Education Programme in collaboration with the British Museum and participating universities.
