This dynamic degree course examines the ways in which archaeology, anthropology and art history complement each other, especially in relation to visual and material cultures from around the world. It allows you to engage with a wide range of material, from the prehistoric through to the present day, and also equips you to study diverse cultures and societies. Throughout your degree you will be encouraged to explore a wide range of cultures and to consider art as a cross-cultural practice. This course will familiarise you with the varied yet related ways in which human creativity has been approached by art historians, archaeologists and anthropologists. The degree programme incorporates study of the visual and material cultures of all continents. You are able to study the art and archaeology of the Ancient Near-East, Ancient Egypt, pre-Columbian America, Japan, as well as the art and material culture of contemporary African, South-Asian, Pacific, and South American societies. The course also allows you to develop the practical skills of archaeological and anthropological fieldwork through participation in excavations and projects. This could be in the UK or overseas, most recently in Cyprus, Cordoba and Peru.
