At the Faculty of Social Sciences, our students explore the major issues of the 21st century by examining the connections between local realities and global challenges, while developing a critical perspective on an increasingly complex, interconnected, and technology-driven world.

In this program, you will combine theoretical approaches from both Francophone and Anglophone traditions with applied research methods, such as ethnography, to investigate topics related to technology, the environment, health, politics, cities, the global economy, and visual anthropology.

You can enrich your academic experience through the CO-OP option, international field courses offered at research sites around the world, and unique networking opportunities in the heart of Canada’s capital. The program also provides direct access to graduate studies in anthropology and prepares you for a wide range of careers by equipping you with strong research, analytical, and communication skills.

The program provides access to a wide range of workplaces in areas of activity such as:

• Government: analyst, program manager, diplomat
• Technology: UX design, testing, and research 
• Education: teaching or support roles in colleges and universities
• Research: public/global health, development, journalism
• Urban planning, Indigenous affairs, Creative industries & video games
