Overview

Our world faces immense challenges. We need people with the skills to respond.

Anthropology explores big questions about humanity. In Anthropology at Oxford Brookes, you’ll study everything from our evolutionary origins and early human societies, to cultural, religious, and ritual practices. You’ll explore diverse experiences of politics, economy, conservation and migration, alongside contemporary questions about AI and relationships between global tech platforms, power, inequality, and changing forms of human intimacy.

We teach anthropology as a holistic discipline, bringing together social, cultural, biological, archaeological, and applied approaches. You'll learn to think across boundaries, drawing on different kinds of evidence to understand the complexity of human life. You’ll develop skills spanning lab analysis, forensic investigation, archaeological excavation, and primate behaviour; to social inquiry, ethnography, participatory methods, and the complexities of cross-cultural research.

Course details

Course structure

In your first year, you'll build a strong foundation in anthropology, exploring how social, cultural, biological, and archaeological perspectives help us understand what makes us human. Field trips and hands-on activities will bring your studies to life and help you get to know fellow students and lecturers.

In your second and third years, you'll focus on the areas that interest you. You could opt to explore any combination of human origins, archaeology, forensic anthropology, material cultures, and/or primatology; global development, human rights, environmental change, and/or conservation; or politics, power, migration, inequality, identity, care, race, gender, and/or cultural diversity.

You'll be encouraged to think independently, connect different fields of knowledge, and develop your own approach to understanding human experience, supported by research-active teaching staff and fantastic resources.

Learning and teaching

Learning at Oxford Brookes is active, practical, and connected to the real world. You’ll move between lectures, seminars, field trips, laboratory sessions, and hands-on research, using different kinds of evidence to explore what it means to be human.

You might analyse skeletal material, investigate archaeological evidence, study primate behaviour, or use ethnographic and participatory methods to understand people’s everyday lives. Our holistic approach encourages you to make connections across social, cultural, biological, archaeological, and applied anthropology, while developing your own interests as you progress.

You’ll be taught by academics conducting research around the world, and supported to become an independent, critical, and confident thinker who can apply anthropological insight to complex real-world questions.

Assessment

Your assessments will be varied, giving you different ways to demonstrate what you know, develop new skills, and play to your strengths.

You might write a blog, create a video, produce a research report, author a policy brief, or give a presentation. You’ll also have opportunities to carry out laboratory work, analyse evidence, conduct fieldwork, write essays, and contribute to seminar discussions. 

As you progress, assessments will increasingly allow you to pursue your own interests, work with different forms of evidence, and communicate ideas to different audiences. You’ll develop confidence in research, analysis, writing, presentation, and creative problem-solving. The skills you develop will support both your studies and your future career.

Field Trips

Field trips are an important part of studying anthropology at Oxford Brookes, giving you the chance to take your learning beyond the classroom and explore how anthropological questions play out in real settings.

These can include longer-term residential fieldwork, museum and heritage visits, and local trips exploring religious, commercial, cultural, and public spaces. They can cover everything from conservation and wildlife management to archeology and social enquiry. These experiences will help you connect ideas from across social, biological, archaeological, and applied anthropology, while developing practical skills in observation, field research, analysis, and interpretation.

Field trips also give you the chance to learn alongside your classmates, work closely with teaching staff, and build confidence applying anthropological approaches to the world around you.

Study modules

Teaching on this course is primarily face to face, giving you regular opportunities to learn with your lecturers and fellow students. You can expect around 10 hours of scheduled contact time each week, alongside extensive one-to-one drop-in support from teaching staff.

Your week may include lectures, seminars, practical sessions, workshops, assessments, fieldwork, and academic advising. The balance will vary across the course, with some periods becoming more intensive during fieldwork, placements, or other forms of work-based learning.

Alongside taught sessions, you’ll undertake substantial independent study, with an overall workload of around 1,200 hours each year. Teaching normally takes place Monday to Friday, between 9.00am and 6.00pm.

Year 1

Compulsory modules

  • Anthropological Fieldwork

    You'll be introduced to the principles and practices of anthropological fieldwork across social, biological, and archaeological domains. You'll enhance your practical and analytical skills required to design, conduct, and reflect upon field-based research, including observation, recording, interviewing, sampling, measurement, documentation, and ethical decision-making.

    You'll gain an insight into how anthropologists generate knowledge in diverse settings, and plenty of opportunity for interactive learning through structured field visits to local sites, collections, and environments, alongside a collective residential field trip. Meanwhile, you'll explore fundamental questions such as: What do anthropologists do in the field? How do they work across social, biological and archaeological contexts? Why are these methods central to the discipline? Why does fieldwork remain vital to understanding human and non-human worlds?

  • Becoming an Anthropologist 1

    Develop your key academic skills through a consideration of social and biological anthropology. You will engage with:

    • literature
    • deductive reasoning
    • critical thinking
    • different approaches to writing.

    You will carry the skills you've gained to address issues that are central to the discipline.

    You will also have the opportunity of fieldwork trips to local museums, plus a two-night collective trip to a site of significant interest. You will explore the importance and relevance of Anthropology as an academic discipline.

  • Becoming Human

    How did humans emerge as a species? Why do human societies vary across time and space? How can we understand the diversity of human experience today? In this module you'll address these questions by exploring anthropology as a discipline. 

    You’ll take an integrated approach, covering social and biological anthropology. You will also study other living primates and archaeology. You will also engage with a range of research taking place at Oxford Brookes University to build your anthropological skills.

    You'll explore the application of anthropology to contemporary life and examine how anthropological approaches offer solutions to issues facing humanity today.

  • Being Human

    What does it mean to be human? How do humans interact with each other and with the world around them? In this module you'll tackle these questions. You'll consider how anthropology provides an important understanding of the relationships humans have with their past, present and future.

    Your studies will include social and biological anthropology. You will also study other living primates and archaeology. You will develop a keen analytical knowledge of the range of anthropological research.

    You'll explore how we can use anthropology to understand what it means to ‘be human’. You’ll consider how anthropological approaches can address issues across the span of humanity as well as challenges in the contemporary context.

  • Building Academic Skills and Engagement (BASE)

    In this module, you'll develop the academic, digital, and transferable skills required for success at university and beyond. You'll explore the key principles of independent learning, research, academic writing, and communication within the social sciences. 

    You'll exercise skills in how to read critically, write effectively, manage your time, and engage with evidence and argument. You'll also have access to university support services to build confidence, independence, and a sense of academic belonging.

  • Family, Kinship, and Society

    How do people in different societies conceptualise, organise and negotiate social relationships? In this module, you’ll examine human relatedness and kinship. You’ll draw on studies from a range of historical and contemporary contexts to explore households and kinship networks. Your studies will reveal the often complex, ambiguous, and unequal relationships between men, women and children. As this module progresses, you’ll examine the impact that wider economic and political transformations have on shaping personal lives and the relationship between these intimate social relations across the contemporary world. 

  • Primate Societies

    What’s the difference between humans and the 600 other species of primates? In this module, you’ll explore humans through the diverse social behaviour of other primates. You’ll observe how primate societies interact and compromise to survive, looking at primate populations through time. You’ll gain the key analytical skills to succeed in your Anthropology degree, as you identify patterns of social interaction in primates in terms of:

    • ecology
    • energetic
    • demography
    • tradition 
    • phylogeny (the evolution of genetically related groups).

  • Contemporary Societies: Structure and Change

    What’s the relationship between the economy, the state, and society? How have labour markets and welfare states changed over time? In this module, you’ll examine the issues that are shaping social and political developments in contemporary society. You’ll explore questions relating to power and politics, and will look at other topics such as:

    • international immigration patterns
    • the formation of ethnic minorities
    • the role of religion in modern society
    • the challenges posed by global environmental change.

Year 2

Compulsory modules

You'll develop your ability to analyse artefacts, material practices, and material environments across social, biological, and archaeological perspectives. You'll explore how objects mediate relationships, embody histories, express identities, and participate in economic, political, and ritual processes.

    You'll get the opportunity to closely engage with artefacts, collections, and material settings, equipping you with the analytical and interpretive skills needed to ‘read’ material evidence. You'll consider ideas about how anthropologists work with things, how materials generate knowledge, why material culture is central to understanding past and present societies, and how material analysis contributes to contemporary concerns including heritage, sustainability, technology, and everyday life.

  • Human Evolution

    In this module, you’ll dive into human evolution. You’ll explore how the biological stages of human evolution link to changes in society and behaviour. You’ll gain specialist knowledge of the palaeoenvironmental (environment of a past age) and palaeogeographical (geographical features of a past age) context of human evolution.

  • Professional Development in Practice

    You'll embark on the second of three action-orientated experiential modules that form a spine of Supportive Challenge learning opportunities which run throughout the programme of study. You'll be offered the opportunity to draw meaningful, practical experiences to develop personal awareness and self-efficacy while developing your understanding of your chosen subject or profession in the context of the contemporary world and the future world of work.

    You'll also be allowed to experience the real-world of the so-called 'wicked problems' which are complex and cannot be addressed by only one subject, discipline or professional context. You'll immerse yourself in interactive projects, enhancing your understanding and aspirations and cultivating deep personal values leading to a greater sense of self-belief, confidence and resilience in your ability to succeed in complex contexts. 

  • Researching Oxford and Beyond

    In this module, you'll be introduced to the development, application and realities of different research methods in the social sciences. You'll be equipped with both the understanding and skills required to analyse research methods, design, processes and research outcomes.

    Throughout the module your focus will be to build a deep understanding of the principles of human ecology, with a particular focus on the relationship between human health and environmental sustainability.

  • Quaternary Environmental Change

    Sea levels are rising; glaciers are melting; Arctic sea ice is thinning and weather events are becoming more extreme. We are in the grip of global warming. But how do these changes compare with the environmental changes that have occurred in the past? What does the past teach us about how natural and human factors may interact to change our climate and environment in the future? 

    In this module you’ll examine changes to the physical environment throughout the Quaternary: the last 2.6 million years of geological history and time during which humans have evolved and spread across the earth. You’ll examine the causes of climatic and environmental change over different timescales and the complex interactions between human impacts and natural processes, gaining perspective on current environmental and climatic concerns.
