A social anthropology program can teach students about culture and society, and how they are affected by various factors and relationships. It might deal with a variety of subjects, including religion, government, family structure, conflict, history, and more.

A course is the study of a particular topic within a wider subject area and is the foundation of a qualification. A typical course includes lectures, assessments and tutorials.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
