The Postgraduate Certificate in Anthropology is a one-year part-time course designed for students who would like to make a transition to studying anthropology but have no previous background in the subject or for students who, for various reasons, are not yet ready for the full MA programme. Students sit the four modules that form the historical, methodological and theoretical spine of all our MA programmes in anthropology, thus preparing them to continue on to apply for a full MA programme if they wish.
A degree 2.2 or higher in anthropology or cognate discipline (NFQ Level 8 or equivalent honours degree), or a recognised international equivalent.
Applicants must have a recognised primary degree which is considered equivalent to Irish university primary degree level.
Minimum English language requirements:
Applicants for whom English is not their first language are required to demonstrate their proficiency in English in order to benefit fully from their course of study. For information about English language tests accepted and required scores, please see here. The requirements specified are applicable for both EU and International applicants.
