The Anthropology and Sociology degree is particularly suited to students who are curious about their own and other societies, and who are interested in understanding social processes and meanings in the world around them. Rigorous training is provided in a range of methodologies and research skills appropriate to anthropology and sociology.

Students of Anthropology and Sociology can go on to pursue both private and public sector careers including work with governmental organisations like the United Nations and with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) like Save the Children and Oxfam. Others now work as teachers, journalists and research officers in the health and social sectors, and in other professions requiring knowledge of social and cultural processes. Some pursue further research degrees in anthropology and become academic anthropologists.
