Overview

This is the part-time version of the MA in Anthropology programme. The Anthropology programme at the Maynooth University is an advanced degree in socio-cultural anthropology in which students are given a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of the discipline, a block of modules that open up and explore the conceptual and methodological core of the discipline and a series of specialised modules that show the range of socio-cultural anthropology today

Career Options

An anthropology degree provides an excellent preparation for a wide variety of fields in both public and private sectors, and is an especially good foundation for an international career.

Anthropology has become increasingly important as a job skill in the context of globalisation, where a deeper understanding of cultural difference is crucial, both locally and internationally.

Graduates go on to employment in a wide variety of careers in community work, education, the health professions, product design, international aid and development projects, NGO work, business and administration, and more.
