Subject Overview
>Anthropologists study all aspects of human behaviour and society. By closely observing and analysing different ways of life around the world, from tribal villages to Wall Street offices, anthropologists create new knowledge about human nature and what it means to be human today.
>Whatever you are most passionate about – from understanding human cultures to identity politics, environmentalism, or global business – anthropology can give you the tools to enrich your interests in a deep and sophisticated way. Anthropology is well-suited to students curious about many inter-connected topics, and it fosters creativity and imagination by helping us to think beyond our own pre-conceived world views.
>Maynooth University anthropologists bring the world into the classroom, helping students understand local problems in a global context. We actively engage with many pressing concerns, including aging populations, nationalism, citizenship, racial discrimination, security, surveillance, religion, international migration, drug use, health problems such as HIV, consumer culture and sustainability, as well as rapid technological change.
You can also study forensic anthropology, which applies skeletal analysis and archaeological techniques to solve criminal cases. You will engage in practical, experiential learning, including ethnographic fieldwork projects and there is an option to go on an archaeological dig during your studies.
