What it is	You study sociology — how people, groups, and societies work — but with a focus on solving real problems rather than just theory. You'll learn to analyze social issues like inequality, crime, and community development, then apply that knowledge to actual situations through projects and research. This suits people who want to understand human behaviour and social change while building practical skills for work in non-profit organizations, government, or social services.	You study how gender, feminism, and power shape society by combining feminist theory with sociology's analysis of social structures and inequality. Unlike a straight sociology program, you examine gender as a central lens across all topics — from work and family to politics and culture. This suits students interested in understanding social change, inequality, and how identity intersects with institutions, who want classroom learning paired with work experience.	This program examines how gender and sex shape society, history, culture, and power across different fields like sociology, social work, and other disciplines. Unlike a straight sociology degree, it centres gender and feminist perspectives as the main lens for understanding social issues. It suits students interested in understanding inequality and social change, especially those drawn to activism, policy work, or community-based careers.	This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development.
