Students who wish to specialise in Archaeology have to choose the major in Anthropology because there is no separate Archaeology major.

Papers are coded as ANTH. All ANTH papers count equally towards a Bachelor of Arts (BA) majoring in Anthropology, and students may take any combination of these in their degree. You can combine various papers from this and other departments and programmes to gain your degree, but you must fullfil the basic programme requirements.

There is also an Anthropology minor option requiring a minimum of five papers.

If you have any questions regarding how to combine papers, please contact us.
