The aim of the Bachelor of Arts program is to provide you with a multidisciplinary education that will give you the opportunity to gain knowledge in a range of humanities and social sciences disciplines. You will experience a variety of perspectives, methodologies and learning styles and explore disciplines that study the way humans recognise, record and debate human practices, meanings and values. This will aid you in developing a contemporary understanding of both the human condition and how society operates.

The degree’s flexible structure encourages you to tailor your own program by choosing from a wide variety of majors and minors including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, Creative Writing, Geography and Environmental Studies, History, Literary and Cultural Studies and Sociology. You may also undertake a professional major in Business, Journalism, Language, Multimedia or Psychology as part of this degree.

Anthropology is the study of what it means to be human through the lens of cultural diversity. Sociology examines how human actions in modern societies are shaped by social groups and by wider social, economic and political pressures. Both fields share a common interest in the comparative study of human societies in all their historical and contemporary variations.

This major draws upon the combined strengths of the closely related fields of anthropology and sociology to enhance interdisciplinary research and professional practice. You will focus on local and global contexts, particularly in Australia, South Asia, South-East Asia and East Asia and the Pacific.
You will explore how cultural practices, institutions, social groups and everyday life are being transformed in the context of globalised communication, economic, political and environmental change.

You will also learn practical and conceptual skills to respond to global and local change. This major allows you to explore contemporary issues including family, sport, gender relations, media, education, work and economic change, community development, health, crime and human rights.

The anthropology and sociology major is offered as part of the Bachelor of Arts. You can enhance your studies with a secondary major or choose from a range of elective units to support your career goals.
