There isn't a specific set of GCSEs required to become an anthropologist. University entry requirements for anthropology degrees vary, but generally, strong grades in humanities subjects like
History, Geography, Religious Studies, and English Language/Literature are highly beneficial. Science subjects like
Biology can also be advantageous, particularly for biological or archaeological anthropology.
While no specific GCSEs are mandatory, a good overall performance demonstrating academic ability and a strong foundation in the humanities is crucial for university applications. Universities will primarily look at your A-levels (or equivalent qualifications) for admission to an anthropology degree.
