B.A Anthropology
About this programme
The Department of Sociology proposes a new programme in Anthropology to augment the Sociology programme currently in existence. This is in response to a growing need for students to become more conversant with the cultural heritage of themselves and others, and also to support the Faculty of Social Sciences in their efforts to train students in critical thinking, global awareness and good citizenship. The new Anthropology programme is designed to broaden and strengthen the already existing Department of Sociology, with the in-depth study of various cultures, across space and through time, which the discipline of Anthropology provides.

Career prospects
Anthropologists study human behaviour and attitude. The discipline traces the evolution of humans, taking into account the history of how humans have evolved, how they look like now and how they are likely to look like in the future. Apart from evolution, cultural diversity, human relations, human biology, as well as human habitation are integral aspects of anthropology. It encompasses areas of social science, biological sciences, as well as natural sciences. The programme explores the meaning of symbols and practices that are found in nature, and relating them to the challenges that humans face on daily basis.
