The third year curriculum offers a variety of optional seminars, allowing students to pursue in depth the areas most interesting to them. Those interests are also pursued in a BA thesis, a major paper based on original research that is the capstone of our undergraduate programme. Our graduates have go on to employment in a very great variety of careers in the public and private sectors. Anthropology will become increasingly important as a job skill in an information-based world economy, where an understanding of cultural difference is always crucial from local to international contexts. The choice of Anthropology in combination with other subjects can give one an advantage in preparing for a career in community work, education, the health professions, aid and development projects, business and administration, or religious life.
Opportunities also exist for postgraduate study in Anthropology and related fields.
Advanced degrees qualify one as a professional anthropologist, and careers in 3rd level teaching, research, or the application of anthropology in a variety of public and private programmes, national, and international bodies.
