Talk to a counsellorAfrica is humankind’s original home, a continent of vast cultural and natural resources. Whether coping with massive urbanisation, developing new kinds of politics, or inventing original literary and theatrical genres, Africans have been active and resilient makers of their own fortunes. The range of African Societies today and in the past is enormous: from egalitarian communities to elaborately hierarchical empires. There are extremes of wealth and poverty, ancient oral cultures exist side-by-side with old traditions of literacy and state-of-the-art electronic media. The Department of African Studies and Anthropologys teaching programmes are grounded in Africans own views of the continent and the world.Most of our students enter the degree programme with an enthusiasm for, and interest in, either Africa or Anthropology, but few have studied these subjects as school or college. In your first year you will have a series of options which allow you to explore aspects of African History, Politics, Culture, Geography, Society and Development, giving you an awareness of the diversity of the continent. As you progress, you will be able to follow up a range of topics in greater detail, culminating in your final-year dissertation.
