2-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Sociology and Communication and Media (Honours Select 50:50)

Program Description

Studying Sociology as 50% of the degree gives students a thorough understanding of the way in which society works. Core modules in Year One provide students with a firm foundation for future study. Year Two compulsory modules include Thinking sociologically: approaches to social inquiry, and Social research methods. In Year Three, students will have the choice to study specialist subjects in-depth and develop their independent learning. Students may opt for a dissertation and pursue a topic of their choice. Alternatively, students can gain valuable employability skills and opt for the Applied social research module or Social policy project and combine work experience with their studies, by carrying out a piece of research commissioned by a local agency.

Media coverage represents the most important method for communicating key issues and developments in most subject areas to the wider world, so Communication and Media makes an excellent partner for 50:50 combinations with another subject.
