The Psychological Science and Sociology
degree is really a quite a unique
qualification in Australia because it
draws on two broad disciplines that
underpin the social sciences - psychology
and sociology. It looks at the individual,
it looks at groups, it looks at
communities and looks at how all of
these things come together to form a
complex human society that is rapidly
changing. This degree has been created
from scratch for the online environment.
We're not looking to repurpose materials
here. We've got academics working
extremely hard who are committed to
online learning and really want to
achieve the best they possibly can for
you, the student. So one of the big
advantages of UniSA Online is the
ability to study at your own pace, and in
your own time. The learning outcomes are
carefully structured each week. Courses
build on one another. Your learning can
be done in incremental amounts and
students can get active feedback on an
ongoing basis. When you are studying
on-demand you have the opportunity to
engage with quite a broad learning
community and be supported through that
by your tutor who's there and committed
to helping you succeed. The staff
involved in this degree are already
heavily involved in the professional
bodies whether it be human services,
social policy, social work, psychology or
sociology. Students can be assured that
the courses that they're studying are
prepared by professionals who are
working in this area, current and active.
The Psychological Science and Sociology
degree contains a lot of work-integrated
learning experience and what that really
means is we're going to be looking at
case studies and thinking about how
that learning, and how this knowledge
applies to real-life scenarios that
you're likely to come up against in
your future career. The degree really
opens up a tremendous range of career
options at the end of it.
Social work and human services, social
policy - it could lead into the area of
applied sociology. It could lead also
into the area of psychology. We're going
to make sure that you have a full set of
skills which will translate beautifully
to the professional environment.
