Course summary

This Archaeology and Anthropology with Year Abroad course offers a profound exploration of how humans and our ancestors have interacted with the world, providing unique insights into what it means to be human. Blending humanities and scientific approaches, the program examines global human diversity across time and space through an interdisciplinary lens. Students engage with both theoretical frameworks and practical fieldwork, participating in active research projects either in the UK or internationally. The degree brings together archaeology, which investigates the human past through material remains, and anthropology's three key areas: social anthropology (examining how communities create meaning), biological anthropology (studying human and primate physiological and genetic diversity), and anthropological linguistics (analyzing human communication). The course is supported by specialized facilities including modern laboratories where students gain hands-on experience with archaeological artifacts and materials. A distinctive feature is the year abroad at partner institutions like the University of Malta or Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, offering opportunities to apply learning in different cultural contexts while enhancing career prospects in fields such as professional archaeology, anthropological research, heritage management and beyond.
