Course summary
Overview
Our joint honours course allows students to pursue their own areas of interest within Anthropology and History whilst also providing them with a solid foundation in both disciplines and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for their future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable students to gradually develop their knowledge and skills and become autonomous, effective and independent learners.
When you study Anthropology, you鈥檒l explore what makes us human, what drives our diversity and how we鈥檙e connected to our environment. History is about far more than studying the past. It enables you to discover why people act the way they do and to explore how societies develop.
Links between research and undergraduate teaching are an important and distinctive feature of the programme, and the combined research experience and competencies of staff have shaped its design, content and delivery.
Learning and assessment
In your first year, you鈥檒l explore what it means to be human. You鈥檒l learn about gender in different societies and you鈥檒l learn about ancient human communities and our endangered primate cousins. You鈥檒l develop the core skills needed for History while studying an exciting range of material, from the beginnings of Europe鈥檚 colonisation of the rest of the world to more recent discussions of race and the environment.
In your second year, you鈥檒l be able to focus on areas such as human origins and archaeology, international development, environment and conservation. You鈥檒l examine global challenges like environmental hazards and disasters. You鈥檒l explore more specialist historical issues, like what the Jack the Ripper case tells us about Victorian society, or how thinkers like Charles Darwin have influenced our culture.
In your final year you鈥檒l be free to focus on what you care about most, including your dissertation topic. You might examine the illegal wildlife trade, or investigate habitat loss. You might explore life in Renaissance Italy, or the fall of the Russian monarchy.
