Bachelor of Arts Enhanced Program for High Achievers in Sociology

By studying sociology, you will gain a useful range of skills, some directly relevant to future employment, others essential for understanding and taking charge of your own life. You will learn to critically analyse social issues and to understand the processes which shape contemporary social life. You will also learn how to conduct social research, using such techniques as interviews, observation, surveys and, if desired, computer-based data analysis. These conceptual and research skills will allow you to respond to the needs of employers in a changing world, to understand your own situation, and to make useful contributions to your society. The Department of Sociology at Flinders University is the only one in South Australia and has an outstanding record in a wide range of teaching and research fields. Students consistently rate its teaching amongst the best in the country.
