Bachelor of Arts in Sociology

Program Overview

Arts graduates are sought after by employers because arts degrees ensure you develop strong capabilities in analysis, creativity, research, critical thinking, intercultural awareness and communication – capabilities that are in demand by employers and essential for success in the 21st-century workplace. Arts graduates are recognised by employers for their advanced skills in problem-solving and their ability to make ethical judgements.

The Bachelor of Arts has been reimagined by our world-leading academics in consultation with industry partners and public-sector organisations, so you can be assured you’ll acquire the transferable and technical skills needed for success in today’s and tomorrow’s workplaces. Our approach allows you to turn your passion into a career by exploring your interests in-depth, and by honing your skills and knowledge through practical experiences and expert teaching.


Major: Sociology
We live in an increasingly dynamic world with divisions between rich and poor, citizens and refugees, men and women, East and West, black and white, Christian and Muslim – the list is endless. These divisions structure the web of our social relationships. Sociologists are interested in exploring these relationships, how they become institutionalised, and the many tensions that arise from them.

The Sociology major focuses on the dynamics of these social relationships and the processes of social change in contemporary societies. You’ll learn to differentiate between disciplinary approaches, concepts and methods in the study of the humanities; as well as how to recognise and advocate for the role of the humanities in society. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose from a range of electives in areas such as cultural heritage, public history, social media, and psychological science.
