Certificate in Arts in Sociology

University of Canterbury

The Certificate in Arts (CertArts) is designed for you to study at university level without having to commit to several years of study. It is also an option if you want to take a few courses for interest, or study part-time. Study Involve: Study from a range of subjects which offer field trips, real-world case studies, projects, and more. Complete four standard courses of your choice at 100 and/or 200-level in no more than two subjects. This Certificate can be studied full-time in 6 months or part-time for up to 5 years. Can be used as a pathway to the Diploma in Arts or the Bachelor of Arts with the ability to transfer your credits to those degrees. Take a look at the modern world and how it came to be the way it is. Sociologists investigate the structure of societies, organisations, groups, and everyday lives. This subject can cover a range of social contexts including the intimacy of families, criminal gangs, activities at a rugby game or rock festival, through to divisions of ethnicity, gender, and class. Study Involve: Take courses as diverse as crime and justice, religion, health, gender and sexualities, death, and migration. Flexible course options so you can study a field of Sociology that suits your specific interests. Courses are hands-on and you will have the opportunity to do meaningful research, to create and analyse evidence, and to draw your own conclusions.
