Social science


If you're interested in people and their interaction with their social environment, we have a Social Science option for you.

Whether it's through literature, politics, psychology, health or housing, you'll examine people and their environments and gain the research, analytical and communication skills to build a career on.

If you are not currently enrolled in a Swinburne program, you may apply to undertake any of our undergraduate or selected postgraduate units as single units of study.
