Bachelor of Science - Sociology and Education (8J46)

This degree program is an opportunity to study both Education and Sociology within an interdisciplinary social sciences context.

Education teaching is informed by the research in education and the latest developments in policy and practice, encompassing aspects of culture and identity, childhood and youth, gender and ethnicity, and social justice and inclusion.

Sociology is dedicated to the study of social life as found in groups, institutions and societies. It provides the critical tools for handling the analysis of all aspects of social conduct, from face-to-face interactions to how economic forces shape and are shaped by global society.

This course uses a wide range of approaches to help students learn the methods and ideas needed to develop a deep understanding of the social, historical, political, economic and developmental contexts of education and to make their own contribution to understanding and improving society.
