A Massey Graduate Diploma in Arts (Social Anthropology) is a bridging tool for graduates in other subjects to get the equivalent of a major in social anthropology.

You’ll learn to challenge your existing beliefs and put yourself in others’ shoes.
Study a wide range of subjects
You’ll study topics such as:
politics
globalisation
inequality
human-environmental relations
human rights
indigenous peoples
racism.
visual culture
healing systems
food

Discover how anthropologists study cultural differences through fieldwork that examines societies across the globe, from hunter-gatherers to industrial nation-states. Massey staff and students research in Asia, the Pacific, Europe, Africa and New Zealand.
