We are delighted you have chosen to join us for the next few years and are looking forward to meeting and getting to know you soon. Anthropology staff are busy preparing events for the start of term to help you get to know us and each other, and find out more about what Anthropologists do and why they do it. We are excited to have you arrive and are keen to involve you in all aspects of Department life.
Anthropology is a transformative discipline - it will change the way you think and maybe even who you want to be! We strongly believe that everyone should take at least one Anthropology course in their lifetime, and so we open some of our modules to students from across the University. This means our Department is a busy and vibrant place, where you will also find friendly postgraduates and staff. We conduct research on all manner of topics imaginable (from energy to evolution, to heritage and wellbeing), so we are sure you will find plenty to interest and enthuse you here, and we are excited to be able to share it all with you.
See you in welcome and orientation week!
Professor Yulia EgorovaHead of Department

Congratulations on all the hard work you’ve put in to get here. Throughout your academic journey you’ll learn and grow, enriching the department with your unique perspectives. You’ll never be bored with the number of events going on and the incredibly knowledgeable people you’ll meet. Don’t be afraid to pop along to office hours and ask questions - your tutors will provide you with opportunities to explore your passions, and they’re eager to offer advice and to get to know you too! You’ll learn about the many different facets of Anthropology, and you’ll be amazed at the breadth of what you study. Make the most of your time in the department, and I look forward to seeing you all in Durham!
Once you have completed enrolment you can access Learn Ultra & the Anthropology Student Community Sharepoint site, which are key resources for your Anthropology studies at Durham.
