Sociology will teach you how to look at the world in new ways. Sociologists are interested in every aspect of human social life, including how we are shaped by forces like education, socio-economic status, religion, gender, and ethnicity. They critically analyse the causes and consequences of social problems, and provide arguments about possible reasons for inequality – and how to address them. As a student in the Sociology major, you'll study key concepts and perspectives in sociology, along with research methods. Throughout the major, you'll learn how to analyse social problems and issues, and make evidence-based findings about some of the biggest issues of our time.

The Bachelor of Arts provides you with a well-rounded education, the ability to think and analyse, to write effectively, and the specialist knowledge gained in your major. As a result, a BA opens up a range of career opportunities including but not limited to:

• advertising, marketing, PR and media
• arts curatorship

Alternatively, you may choose to progress to honours, which further enhances your career prospects. Many employers, such as those in the public and finance sectors, require you to hold an honours degree.
