Sociology is the study of society.
It examines social life, cultural and social change, and human behaviour's social causes and consequences.
Sociology involves asking questions about human life and society, understanding our diverse and rapidly changing world, and identifying the causes and solutions to social problems.
The UOW Bachelor of Social Science (Sociology) will give you an understanding of cultural diversity and an awareness of injustices and inequality.
It involves a common foundation of compulsory social science subjects in the first study session, followed by a major in Sociology.
In the third year, you'll complete a real-world capstone project that draws together the degree strands.
You can complement your degree with a minor study area or elective subjects from any field in the University offering cross-faculty enrolment.
You can also study electives abroad or stay local and undertake activities to build your cross-cultural communication skills.
Foundational subjects in social science include human geography, sociology, interdisciplinary competencies, and career-ready learning.
