Offered by University of Manchester, the BA (Hons) Archaeology and Anthropology provides a comprehensive undergraduate education in social sciences. Based in Manchester, England, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 3-year full-time structure. Archaeology is the study of past peoples through the remains they leave behind - artefacts, architecture and landscapes, whilst anthropology provides us with the frameworks to understand living societies. The two disciplines complement each other well, bridging the study of past and present humanity. You will develop an understanding of archaeological and anthropological theory, method and interpretation while learning the critical skills needed to explore the regional and global diversity of the material record and social and cultural life, using comparative, cross-cultural and cross-tempo... A minimum ielts score of 6.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 88% student satisfaction rating, and 74% of graduates in employment or further study.
