Certificate in Arts in Anthropology

University of Canterbury

The Certificate in Arts (CertArts) is designed for you to study at university level without having to commit to several years of study. It is also an option if you want to take a few courses for interest, or study part-time. Study Involve: Study from a range of subjects which offer field trips, real-world case studies, projects, and more. Complete four standard courses of your choice at 100 and/or 200-level in no more than two subjects. This Certificate can be studied full-time in 6 months or part-time for up to 5 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Diploma in Arts or the Bachelor of Arts with the ability to transfer your credits to those degrees. If you are interested in the history of our existence, languages and cultures, identity, and religion, then Anthropology is for you. At UC, you will learn about our collective history, and explore future issues like the evolving role of technology in our lives, power structures and systemic issues, and where our global culture might be heading. Study Involve: Study topics that challenge your current way of thinking, and get you thinking deeply about the topic. Get hands-on experience with real ancient artefacts through UC's Teece Museum of Classical Antiquities, based at Te Matatiki Toi Ora, Arts Centre of Christchurch, with a collection spanning more than 2,500 years from about 2,000 BCE. Get involved on campus through clubs and advocacy. Combine your interests with other studies by adding Anthropology to many UC bachelor’s degrees.
