Stream Outline

THIS STREAM IS FOR STUDENTS COMMENCING FROM 2016.

Sociology and Anthropology will appeal to you if you are interested in the social and cultural relations through which we live. If you are doing a major in the humanities, Sociology and Anthropology as a minor will give you an invaluable social and cross-cultural perspective. If you are majoring in a specialist social science, most of which grew from Sociology and Anthropology, a minor in Sociology and Anthropology will give greater depth and cross-cultural breadth. If you are majoring in a discipline that is concerned with social and cultural trends, a minor in Sociology and Anthropology will improve your analytical skills, your conceptual understanding and your appreciation of ethical relations.
