Introducing your degree
The BA Archaeology and Anthropology degree follows the four field approach to Anthropology, whereby anthropology comprises archaeology, social anthropology, biological anthropology and anthropological linguistics. This program explores how humans, and our ancestors, engaged with their world, both physical and social, and combines aspects of both the humanities and the sciences. By taking the BA Archaeology and Anthropology degree, you will gain insights into human lives, both contemporary and from the past, and explore the differences between them and our own 21st-century Western world.
