Course summary

This course incorporates the study of the cultures, institutions, social behaviors, economies and systems of meaning of all human societies. Anthropology and Sociology includes the topics of religions, politics, kinship, gender, education, health, migration, landscapes and the media. As a student they will investigate various cultural theories and a range of studies on behaviors and beliefs that are used to explore the great diversity of past and present human societies. The study of Anthropology and Sociology will help to understand their place in the world, making these units particularly popular at first-year level, and providing useful skills for living and working in a changing, multicultural society. Anthropology and Sociology are both studied under the Anthropology major, which is the only discipline that offers a way of understanding the whole context of human experiences. The fascinating study of the nature of humanity itself along with the complexities of human social relationships is found within the major of Anthropology and Sociology. It provides training and skills that can be applied to academic, corporate, non-profit or government careers. A major in Anthropology and Sociology lays the foundation for further study at honors and postgraduate level to explore a broad range of topics nationally and internationally. Students may also consider other postgraduate options including degrees leading to a range of professional qualifications.
