This Postgraduate Diploma has been designed to provide students with a general knowledge of the principles and methods of Anthropology.

What is Anthropology? Anthropology is the study of human similarity and human difference, it looks at the building blocks of human society and culture, studying the value and meaning of human life from the grassroots up on a local and global platform.
