AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY

According to The Australian Sociological Association (TASA), sociology focuses on the organisation of social life. It looks at how people’s lives are influenced by their opportunities and experiences; and the impact that people have on society through taking action and creating change. Sociology provides insights into the ways factors such as class, wealth, race, gender, ethnicity, age, sexuality, disability and religion shape people’s lives, but this is only one part of it. Sociologists question the common-sense and popular explanations of social life and look at the dynamics of power and inequality in everyday life. The Australian Society specialisation will be the lens that students use to apply their sociological knowledge and skills to wider Australian society.

SOCIAL RESEARCH

There is a growing demand in Australia and internationally for people with graduate qualifications in social research methods. Upon graduation you will have practical skills in social science research that can be applied in government, NGOs (non-government organisations), and private organisations. Graduates will gain a solid foundation for undertaking, overseeing and evaluating research within the employment sector or for further studies within the social sciences. In particular, students taking this major will develop knowledge and understanding of research methods, analysis and statistical techniques.
