Graduate Diploma in Arts (Social Anthropology)

A Massey Graduate Diploma in Arts (Social Anthropology) is a bridging tool for graduates in other subjects to get the equivalent of a major in social anthropology. You can then apply for postgraduate studies in social anthropology if you wish.

Studying social anthropology will give you a different perspective on world affairs. It develops your understanding of other cultures and ethnic groups and shows you how your way of life is just one of many possible ways of being human. You’ll learn to challenge your existing beliefs and put yourself in others’ shoes.
