Trained social researchers are increasingly in demand by both government and non-government organisations. Pathways through Sociology Students who want to concentrate on sociology and those who seek to do honours should take the core sociology units. Teaching staff in sociology are committed to providing academic advice which is tailored to different student needs. Students who are interested in putting together a package of units which provides a sound training in social research should consult the convener of SOC287 Methods of Social Research. The BSocSc is designed to meet an expanding need for graduate employment in social science research, public sector agencies dealing with social policy, social research consultancy firms, and the community sector, including local government.
Students can study sociology within the BSocSc degree.
SOC181 Australian Society, and SOC180 Culture, Identity and Society are included in the approved social science units at 100 level. They will need to support the coherent study of sociology with social science units drawn from other disciplines. Sociology can be combined in intellectually exciting and useful ways with a number of other programs. For students who want to combine units in social theory there are a number of units available in both sociology and philosophy.
