Career outcomes

An Honours degree in anthropology is generally the minimum requirement to work as a professional anthropologist and is the pathway to a research career.

Qualified anthropologists offering cultural insights into health, industry, business and technology sectors, find careers in a diverse range of workplaces.

Anthropologists enjoy diverse careers in museums, cultural heritage and land management agencies.

In Australia anthropologists commonly work with Aboriginal people with regard to native title claims, land and heritage management, and cultural policy work.

Anthropologists also work for governments, NGOs and as independent consultants in social and cultural policy and planning, community development, overseas aid and development, health advocacy, environmental impact assessment and education.
