Course summary
What does it mean to be human? Anthropology is for creative and critical thinkers, fascinated by every aspect of human life. Investigate the history of our species, explore the amazing diversity of human cultures and find your place in an ever-changing world. Study how we evolved, why we live in different sorts of societies, and how we interact with both one another and the environment. You develop insight into social and cultural difference and an understanding of the history, behaviour, and evolution of our species – gaining a new perspective that is particularly valuable to employers across a wide range of industries. Get practical with facilities like the brand new mini CT-scanner within the Imaging Centre for Life Sciences, the Ethnobiology Laboratory for identification of useful plants, and the Biological Anthropology Teaching 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.
