Yes, the School of Social Sciences & Humanities is a melting pot.

But that’s not the only thing that’s being rewarded. A rewarding career can be found with a Social Sciences degree. In fact, it’s a growing career choice worldwide with a workforce on average younger than other industries and often incredibly passionate about their chosen field of work.
Also worth knowing:
- Security, Terrorism and Counterterrorism was the first course of its kind in Australia and is now popular with police forces in every state.
- Parliamentary and Public Policy Internships include working with a State Politician or public service agency on actual policy.
- Live and learn in Japan or Indonesia as part of your Asian Studies (PDF 244kb) course.
So, if you like a taste of the exotic or a hint of excitement, come experience it for yourself today. Who knows, you may just end up sitting next to someone who believes that the world is rectangular.
