About
About the course You will be provided with a comprehensive overview of Anthropology’s research methodologies. These include real-world experiences at the undergraduate level, such as critical thinking, ethnographic writing, participant observation, record-keeping, oral and multimedia interviewing, and material culture and archival research. Throughout the major, an emphasis is placed on active learning and assessment, enabling you to develop job-ready skills for working in fields such as heritage, community and social development, or policy and analysis – whether in Australia or anywhere in the world. Anthropologists work with societies and cultures globally, making the possibilities for employment richly diverse.
