The “Anthropology and ethnology” programme allows us to prepare qualified Bachelors of Anthropology who possess the complex information on the cultural and social diversity of the Siberian peoples. Such specialists are also able to apply their knowledge to analysis of the modern-day society’s problems.
Anthropologists study the human, their natural history and biological and social development, the origin of peoples and their history, traditions and customs, religious cults and practices, international relations and conflicts and much more. They organize and perform expeditions and laboratory research; they summarize and organize the results of such work.
Ethnologists create collective portraits of certain cultures and societies. They are familiar with the images of different peoples, their traditions and customs, they study their material and spiritual culture. This knowledge is applied in different fields from fashion and diet to peacekeeping and diplomacy. Our profession provides universal knowledge on the foundations of social life, and such knowledge is in-demand in business, management, politics, and even medicine and urban design.
The Anthropology Office named after N.S. Rozov (Problem Research Laboratory of Siberian History, Archaeology and Ethnography) in TSU has gathered and is enriching a unique anthropological collection of items from Siberian peoples (5.5 thousand items from the Neolithic age to this day).
