Why study Anthropology
Anthropology is the study of humankind
in all its aspects. As a social science,
anthropology seeks to discover and explain
the patterns of behaviour that have
produced the astounding cultural variety
among humans; it is uniquely able to foster
better understanding of differences, such
as those of ethnicity, gender, generation,
or across the lines of wealth or politics.
Social-cultural anthropology is subdivided into
specialities which examine particular realms of
human experience – such as political anthropology,
material culture, economic anthropology, language
and culture, anthropology of development,
medical anthropology, anthropology of religion,
psychological anthropology, and so on.
These approaches distinguish anthropology
from other social science disciplines, and are
central to our department at Maynooth.
Why study Anthropology at Maynooth
Maynooth houses the only department of
anthropology in the Republic of Ireland. The
Department was established in 1983 and since
then has gained an international reputation for
the quality of its research and the teaching and
learning experience it provides. At Maynooth,
our emphasis is on social-cultural anthropology,
which is the comparative study of human societies
and cultures. Anthropologists study people
and what they do, wherever in the world that
may take us. Our staff bring the world into the
classroom and teach students to understand local
problems in a global, cross-cultural context.
Accounting as a
specialised degree –
Law and Accounting
Accounting is taken jointly with Law for the three
years of the programme. Some students may choose
to take an internship year between second and third
year, and graduate after fourth year in that case.

Even within these fields, however, there is
always attention to connections that span
the discipline, such as a focus on ethnography
(descriptive/analytic accounts based on living
with a subject group for an extended period
of time) and cross-cultural comparison.
