Sociology
Changing society means understanding it. The inequalities, the technological transformations, the movement of people. Everything.
Studying sociology at Swinburne will help you explore issues like popular culture, gender, race and migration, the environment, global issues, and biotechnology.
Through these sociology units, you’ll gain practical, real-world skills including research, communication, critical thinking and project management to ensure that when you graduate, you’ll have the confidence and skills to not only understand the world but to positively change it.
