Course Details - Modules
Year 1 modules provide a broad introduction to both sociocultural and biological perspectives while advanced modules in Years 2 and 3 concentrate on specific areas or issues and integrate them creatively. Biological anthropology examines humans within a broad evolutionary framework, including variation in biological characteristics, genes, diseases, the interaction between people and their environment, and the behaviours and comparative anatomy of primates and early hominins. Social anthropology includes the cross-cultural study of social organisation, kinship and gender, political structure, economic institutions, religion and ritual, art and aesthetics, values and beliefs, and social change. Anthropology students benefit greatly from living in a culture that is different from their own and opportunities exist to study abroad in the USA, Japan or Europe.
