Bachelor [Anthropology] From Oxford Brookes University

Anthropologists try to understand where humans came from and how we became so culturally diverse through social adaptation and imagination.

We are interested in profound philosophical questions on ÒnatureÓ and ÒnurtureÓ, individual freedom and social determination, but we are also interested in how these questions can be informed through empirical data recorded in rigorous fieldwork and material analysis.Ê

The program offered by the Oxford Brookes University looks at what it means to be human from the perspectives of archaeology, biological anthropology, and social anthropology. Our students have the opportunity to learn in practical laboratory-based classes, as well as discussion seminars, learning how to think critically and creatively about all kinds of data, whether presented in numbers or narratives.
