Sociology
Sociology is the study of society, with social relations between individuals and groups at its focus. Sociology can help us better understand who we are, what we do, and why we do it. In this way it can increase our self-knowledge and cultural awareness.
Sociologists study social life in all its forms, from everyday practices like shopping, to social institutions such as the family, health and medicine, death, beauty and fashion, gender and sexuality, the media, crime, globalisation, social and economic development and culture. Sociology can be studied at an undergraduate level as part of a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Social Science or Bachelor of Criminology, and within a Graduate Certificate in Arts or Master of Arts at postgraduate level.
