Description

Candidates studying Honours will have the opportunity to build on the more basic foundations provided by their first three years in the discipline. The fourth year will require study in advanced units in Sociology and will provide students with the opportunity for engaging in research in a setting that encourages systematic reflection upon the methodology and theory being deployed. It is expected that students who meet the required standard in this course will be advantageously placed to go on to higher degrees.
