Archaeology and Anthropology at Cambridge

What makes us human? Is there such a thing as human nature? Why are human societies so different? What is culture? How do we find out about the past when there was no writing? How can we understand cultural diversity in contemporary world?

If questions such as these absorb and interest you, so could our broad-ranging Tripos in Archaeology and Anthropology – commonly called ‘Arch and Anth’.

This is a unique course in which you start by gaining a thorough grounding in three disciplines of the Faculty but graduate with deep specialisation in one of these three subjects. The Faculty comprises three connected disciplines: archaeology (including Ancient Near East subjects), social anthropology, biological anthropology. Researches and research students from our Faculty work in almost all parts of the world.
