The Master of Anthropology is designed for students who have a background in another field, who have developed an interest in Anthropology, but who may have little formal background in the subject. The aim of the qualification is to provide quality and coherent graduate education in Anthropology.

The program is suitable for those who seek academic preparation for a career in a professional area requiring a solid understanding of Anthropology, whether in cultural institutions, the public service, the academy, or elsewhere. It is available to qualified applicants from both Australia and overseas.

After  completing the coursework satisfactorily students may proceed to a 24 unit thesis and graduate with an MAnth (Research).

The core of the program is a 48-unit (2-semester or part-time equivalent) set of courses covering key topics in  anthropology for the degree of MAnth.  Extra preparatory coursework in the form of the Graduate Certificate (24 units) precedes this core, for those not eligible to enter the MAnth directly
