Learn about how people live in diverse cultures around the world and deepen your understanding of African societies through history, politics and cultural studies. Explore the complexity and diversity of lived experiences on the African continent and beyond, and challenge assumptions about society's past, present, and future.

You’ll be assessed in different ways to suit each module. At the start of a module, you’ll be told how and when you’ll be assessed.
