      Bachelor of Science (with honours) Health and Human Sciences, Department of Anthropology 2:1

      I studied both social and biological anthropological theories, gaining an understanding of interdisciplinary perspectives of culture, society and health, and had the opportunity to design and carry out my own research each year using different research methodologies.
