Bachelor
Social scientists inform public debate, influence policy and have careers through which they make a real difference in the world. Through the Bachelor of Social Science you'll learn and develop the knowledge and skills to understand, analyse and influence the political, social, environmental and economic challenges we face. Core courses cover social science, policy analysis and research methods.
Students can gain practical experience through real-world coursework activities, vocational placements (internships), overseas exchange programs or by getting involved in student organisations or volunteering.
You will also complete a major social research project that brings together the research and analytical skills necessary for research and policy-related work.
Applications for undergraduate study from domestic students (Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents, Australian permanent humanitarian visa holders and New Zealand citizens) are processed by the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC).
Visit the Apply section of the UAC website and you can nominate up to five degrees in order of preference, with the first being your most desired degree and university.
On-time applications for admission usually close at the end of September each year for Term 1 admission. Late applications can be submitted, but a late fee will apply. For study starting in Term 1, the majority of offers are made in December and January.
