Anthropology
at University of Winchester
At Winchester we take a broad approach to the discipline of anthropology. Through modules in social anthropology, biological anthropology and archaeology, you will embark on a fascinating exploration of human cultures and behaviours across the past and present.
Course Overview
Classes draw on archaeological evidence, the long-term perspective of human evolution, and present-day examples from societies around the world. You will learn from experts in the field with interests in diverse areas such as human osteology, religion and society, art and cultural heritage, or migration and transnationalism. Through external visits and opportunities to work with archaeological materials, including an important collection of human skeletal remains, the course provides a balance between academic learning and practical experience.
As an anthropology student, you learn how to understand, interpret and respond to human behaviour. Alongside such specialist skills, you also develop valuable transferable skills highly prized by employers, including the ability to think critically, communicate your ideas and opinions clearly and work both independently and collaboratively.
