Anthropology and History University of Aberdeen

Overview

At a Glance

Anthropology – for which we boast 100% student satisfaction – will give you a thorough grounding in humanity, the differences in human cultures and communities and how they have developed. You will gain insights into behaviours, beliefs and attitudes all over the world, and find connections between aspects of life such as family, economics, politics and religions.

Combining this insight with detailed study of human activity and events through the centuries will give you unique insight and skills to apply to the challenges and opportunities of the modern day.

In History, you will learn in buildings centuries old, yet with the most modern teaching and technology. You will be inspired by teachers who are leaders in their fields, with expertise as diverse as medieval Scandinavia, early-modern Poland and modern East Asia.

You will thrive among our historic treasures: manuscripts, books and museum exhibits collected by distinguished alumni, thinkers and explorers over 500 year, in collections accredited as nationally significant, and of international importance.

The skills you will gain from the Anthropology and History programme of the University of Aberdeen will give you career options covering almost every field including business, politics, education, public sector, media, NGOs and arts and heritage.
