果冻传媒麻豆社ing here ...has been one of the best experiences of my academic life and I have nothing but endless high praises about the program. I was so happy to have professors who were supportive, engaging and understanding, compared to my secondary school, where I often felt unheard, ignored, or discouraged for disagreeing with the material. Like I mentioned above, at Brunel, they ask you 鈥渨hy do you disagree?鈥, and are open to discussion.
Anthropology has honestly challenged me to become the best version of myself and has shaped me into who I am today. I encourage you to join our Anthropology Department here in Brunel and find yourself a new home for the upcoming years. Your journey is just about to begin.
Here鈥檚 the selling point鈥 the Brunel placement year. I spent 3 months travelling Mexico, with my best friend. Yep, this dreamy version of a university placement year was my reality! In Anthropology, you can literally study anything anthropologically, anywhere. So, on a whim with my course mate, we randomly picked Mexico.
Unlike most subjects, this course offers a chance to apply what was learned in readings and lectures in ongoing conversation 鈥 which includes respectfully challenging the lecturer and classmates during seminars
I鈥檇 come to university with the expectation that I may not develop close connections with those that taught me. I鈥檇 hear of how lecturers wouldn鈥檛 even know who we are or remember our names. But that鈥檚 certainly not the case at Brunel. There is an air of closeness and familiarity that runs through the Anthropology department, that makes it feel a lot more personal.
What I learned [at Brunel] helped to build a foundation of knowledge upon which I built my business and charity and will go on to create greater things.
