UCL Anthropology
"The most scientific of the humanities, the most humanistic of the sciences"
UCL
Anthropology studies humanity in all its aspects: from our evolution as a
species, to our relationship with the material world, and our vast variety of
social practices and cultural forms.
Our department is
one of only a few broad based anthropology departments in the UK comprised of
four sub-sections including Biological Anthropology, Social Anthropology,
Material Culture and Medical Anthropology. Our teaching and research reflects the breadth and depth of this cross and
interdisciplinary approach.
