This double degree major introduces students to the complementary fields of anthropology and sociology.

In a world of increasing globalisation and cultural shifts, many employers need the expertise of those with a deeper understanding of human behaviours.

What does it really mean to be human? Anthropology examines this theme through the lens of culture and diversity. Sociology examines how human actions are shaped by social groups and economic, political and social pressures.

This major draws on the strengths of the two interlinked fields. It explores how cultural practices, institutions, social groups and everyday lives are being transformed within the context of comprehensive global change.

You’ll study contemporary issues such as communication and media, community development, gender relations, education, family, human rights, health, work and crime. You’ll also learn the conceptual and practical skills to respond to these global and local changes.

This program focuses on the contexts of Australia, South Asia, South-East Asia, East Asia and the Pacific.
