Social science provides you with the opportunity to analyse, challenge and gain an insight into theories about life cycle, gender, class, race, work, social justice and social organisation. Social science theories are the result of systematic thinking, observations and reflection, and contribute to political and moral debate in society, rather than dictate precise answers to complex social problems. Some majors are offered predominantly at one campus and others are offered at both the Callaghan and Ourimbah campus or online. The availability of courses within the majors is subject to change.
