Why choose sociology?
Within sociology courses, students investigate the key social and global issues of our time. We focus on diverse communities, cultures and processes of change. We examine class, gender, ethnicity, power and culture to understand how societies work and how social problems can be solved. Our sociology program is among the most highly-ranked sociology programs in Australia, with your lecturers being leaders in the discipline. After completing your sociology courses, on graduation you’ll have the capacity to critically assess major social problems, social design, undertake and assess research – ranging from broad scale statistical studies to small scale qualitative research – with diverse communities.
