Undergraduate study in Anthropology

You can study topics ranging from human evolution and the development of human culture to aspects of modern society.

Our courses include analysis of:

• Past human behaviour and culture through what has been left behind
• Ways in which humans have evolved and continue to respond to changing circumstances
• Cultures, societies and ways of life, ranging from tribal communities to postmodern societies
• Music and its social functions in different cultures and societies

You can study Anthropology as one of your two BA majors. (All Arts students complete a double major.) You will need to pass at least 120 points (eight courses) towards each of your majors, including at least 45 points (three courses) at Stage III.
