Archaeology and Anthropology

Erin, 2nd year

'Choosing Archaeology and Anthropology, for me, was about the amazing breadth of the subject. I had always favoured history and the biological sciences in school, and this degree offers ways to not only combine the two, but also to look at both history and science from a completely new angle. Now that I’m in my second year, I can’t imagine having chosen a different subject.

With my degree, I’ve had the opportunity for field trips, field work in southern England, and am planning on several months in South America, all with help from my tutors and college, who fully support getting out and doing real-life archaeological and anthropological work.'

Oliver, who graduated in 2005 and currently works as Head of Physics in a north London school says:  

‘The skills acquired during my study in Oxford (time management, discussion with peers and superiors, information synthesis and independent study, thought and organisation) are useful to me in both my day-to-day duties and my longer term career aspirations.’
