About This Course You’ll study archaeology, anthropology and art history as an integrated whole, and will develop a multi-faceted appreciation of the visual and material culture of a wide range of places and times. You’ll begin to understand how the interaction of people and things is fundamental to humanity. By studying archaeology, you’ll gain the ‘long view’ of how people successfully (or unsuccessfully) adapted and changed over hundreds and even thousands of years. Anthropology will provide you with multiple perspectives on how we live and interact now. From art history, you’ll gain an understanding of how human creativity has shaped the world we live in, from technological creativity to individual ingenuity.

This means you will have access to important artworks from Asia, Africa, the Pacific, the Americas, and Europe. You will be able to study relevant objects first hand, while learning about the processes of collecting objects for museums. You’ll be taught by experts from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, who will encourage you to approach works of art from different perspectives.
