Bachelor of Arts (Sociology)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationWhen you study sociology, you will come to appreciate how the world around you influences the way you think, feel and act while acquiring a better understanding of yourself and your role in this world. This is what sociology does. It makes sense of the many challenges that human societies face in the modern world and the ways in which people and societies confront those challenges. Studying Sociology will provide you with the knowledge to understand how these challenges have emerged, the skills to analyse the complexities of how those challenges effect different social groups, and the capacity to evaluate options for creating more sustainable and socially just societies. Sociology equips you with the skills to think critically about the world around you and the ability to apply different perspectives in your decision-making and planning. This is an essential requirement in any career needing cultural awareness and research expertise.
