Overview

At a Glance

Anthropology is the study of human societies and cultural differences, at all places and in all times. Its approach is comparative, holistic and gives a view of social life from the inside.

Geography is the study of the Earth's surface, with particular emphasis on the relationship between people and their environment. Few other subjects cover such a diversity of phenomena, combining elements of the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities.

Why Study Anthropology and Geography?

An education in anthropology not only furnishes us with knowledge about the world; it also educates our perception of the world, and opens our eyes to other possibilities of being.

Your Geography degree provides great flexibility. After all, one of the great things about Geography is that it offers the widest possible curriculum, from studies of inter-cultural relationships, to deep understanding of the earth system.

The The Anthropology and Geography programme of the University of Aberdeen is taught in this very way, jointly. This is key as our teaching is delivered by the relevant experts in each of the areas of study.
