Overview
At UCC, our BA Anthropology programme immerses students in the four core subfields of anthropology: archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology. Unique within a European setting, our curriculum draws on faculty expertise and research both in Ireland and abroad, and together we will explore human evolution and adaptation, heritage and colonial histories, human-environment interactions, semiotics and religion, ethics and global economies, and more.
Anthropology at UCC is the only BA degree in Ireland inspired by the North American four-field approach - with a focus on Sociocultural Anthropology, Biological Anthropology, Archaeology and Linguistics - at its core. Our BA (Hons) Anthropology programme is a full-time honours degree taken over three years. If you wish to spend a year abroad at one of our partner institutions in Europe and beyond, you can take the International Pathway option and spend Year 3 abroad before returning to UCC to complete your degree in Year 4.
