Anthropology is the study of human beings and the societies and cultures they live in. Anthropologists study a diversity of cultures in all their complexity and richness in places that are both unfamiliar and familiar. The aim of anthropology is to address the way cultural traditions continue and change over time, and how we can understand and explain human beliefs and behaviour. During your studies you'll have access to the Anthropology Museum, which is home to the largest university collection of ethnographic cultural materials in Australia.
