Frequently Asked Questions – London Anthropology Day
Attending the Event
I am a Year 9/10 student (or a parent/teacher of one) but still interested in learning more about anthropology. Can I attend?
Yes! While the event is primarily aimed at Year 12, Year 13, and Further Education (FE) students who are considering studying anthropology at university, we welcome students of all ages who are curious about the subject. If you think the event would be useful for you, feel free to attend.
I am a graduate or an older student considering an undergraduate or master’s degree in anthropology. Can I come?
Absolutely! While the event is designed for younger students exploring university options, we welcome anyone interested in studying anthropology at any level. You may find the university stalls and workshops helpful in exploring your options.
I am a professional looking to network. Is this event for me?
London Anthropology Day is specifically organised to support students and those considering studying anthropology. If this does not describe you, we kindly ask that you leave spaces open for those who would benefit most from the event.
I am under 18 and want to come, but I don’t have an adult to accompany me. Can I still attend?
Yes! You do not need an adult to accompany you. There will be staff and volunteers present for safeguarding, but we ask that you:
- Do not leave the premises of Senate House during the event
- Re-register after lunch so we know you are accounted for
I am a student attending alone and am nervous.
Don’t worry! There will be volunteers available to assist you if you need help or just someone to talk to. Anthropologists are a friendly bunch, and you’re likely to meet other students attending alone. If you have any specific concerns, let us know in advance.
I am a parent and want to attend with my child. Is that allowed?
Yes! Parents are welcome to attend with their child. Please note that you must book a separate place for yourself when registering.
I want to attend but can’t stay for the whole day. Is that okay?
Yes! If you can only attend part of the event, please select “Meet the Universities” for the sessions you won’t be present for. This ensures that workshop spaces remain available for those who wish to participate fully.
