Program Overview
The Department of Anthropology and Archaeology offers a comprehensive 'four-field' approach that integrates archaeology with biological, social, and linguistic anthropology. Graduates have gone on to diverse careers in higher education, research, museums, policy-making, and more. The department's research strengths include adaptation, adversity, and globalisation, and field research takes place worldwide. Students benefit from world-class laboratory facilities and partnerships with professional institutions.
Program Outline
We focus particularly on adaptation, adversity and globalisation. Our research themes include 'Ecologies', 'Liveable Futures', 'Transitions and Turbulence', and 'Connections and Methods'. Field research takes place in the UK, as well as Bhutan, Brazil, China, Colombia, Dominica, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, Venezuela, and elsewhere. We are well equipped to undertake anthropological and archaeological fieldwork, including excavation, and we have world-class radiocarbon dating, isotopic and micro-imaging laboratories on site. We also work closely with institutes and centres in the Faculties of Social Sciences and Law (Migration Mobilities Bristol; the Centre for Environmental Humanities; and the Centre for Health, Humanities and Science), as well as the Faculty of Science (Bristol Isotope Group; Organic Geochemistry Unit).
For programmes that last longer than one year, please budget for up to an 8% increase in fees each year.
