Examine how we evolved, why we live in different societies, and how we interact with one another and the environment. You'll develop insight into social and cultural difference, understand the history, behaviour, and evolution of our species and gain a unique perspective invaluable to employers across a wide range of industries.
Get practical with facilities like the brand new micro CT-scanner within the Imaging Centre for Life Sciences, the Ethnobiology Laboratory for identification of useful plants, and the Charles Darwin Lab with its impressive fossil cast collection. Field trips present another opportunity for you to learn beyond your lectures at zoos, museums, religious sites, and the financial district.
Be introduced to anthropology, its foundations and its leading thinkers. Benefit from practical learning through lab-based sessions and visits away from campus. Enjoy a varied choice of optional modules enabling you to expand your perspective or develop a specialism. You can study human sexual behaviour, medical anthropology, ethnicity and nationalism, power and money, or discover more about primate communication or forensic anthropology, or any combination of the above among many other diverse topics.
