Anthropology is the in-depth study of culture, examining human life and the lived experience
from small communities to global interactions.
On a global scale, this major gives you the
opportunity to examine socio-cultural interactions,
current world issues, development practice,
ecological and medical diversities as well
as migration.
Closer to home, you will get the opportunity
to explore economic and social development
in communities across the the Pacific, Southeast
Asia, and Indigenous communities in Australia,
Melanesia and the Americas.
You’ll also have access to UQ’s Anthropology
Museum, home to the largest university collection
of cultural materials in Australia, detailing
centuries of social and cultural history.
A truly global discipline, you will learn
from academics from around the world, each
bringing a unique perspective and practical
lived experience to help you understand who
we are, where we have come from, and where
we are headed.
