Anthropology

Human societies today face tremendous change and insecurity - from global migration to disappearing wildlife. And our world needs people with innovative skills and perspectives to respond to these challenges.

When you study Anthropology, you'll explore what makes us human, what drives our diversity and how we're connected to our environment. And from day 1, your studies will take you across subjects, cultures, regions and species. You'll debate critical issues like:

• social justice and inequality
• the origins of modern humans
• migration and multiculturalism
• gender identities and differences
• international development
• primate conservation

You'll gain new perspectives on your culture, while you explore others. And you'll examine the foundations of human societies - learning about our evolutionary history. You might be surprised where your interests can take you.

You'll graduate with a strong awareness of social and environmental justice. And you'll have sought-after employment skills and knowledge.
