Course Structure
Full time study
In each of the three years you take a mix of core anthropological papers and electives. Early years focus on foundational theory, methods and key debates in anthropology. Later years include advanced topics such as cultural analysis, ethnographic methods and specialised area studies.
Part time study
If you study part time, you would take fewer papers per semester and extend your completion time beyond three years. The same core requirements apply; you accumulate credits gradually while balancing study with other commitments.
Courses include (illustrative set of papers — check the official calendar for exact offerings):
• Introduction to Anthropology
• Cultural Theory and Practice
• Ethnographic Methods
• Global Societies and Identity
• Research Project in Anthropology
• Advanced Area Studies in Culture and Society
Completion requires progressing through levels of papers with increasing depth.
