Sociology strand, Honours
In order to graduate, Honours students in the Sociology strand
complete:
-
Project Development (SOCU 4001), a course taught intensively
over two weeks in February, which covers issues relating to carrying
out research and writing an Honours thesis.
-
Contemporary Social and Political theories (SOCU 4002), taught
during study period 2 (first half of year), through a series of
seminars focussing on different theories.
- Two other 4.5 units courses selected in consultation with the
Program Director and your thesis supervision, from relevant courses
at level 3 and above, university-wide or at another university by
cross-institutional enrolment. For the Sociology strand, one of
these courses is normally
Western Culture, Fundamentalism and Secularisation (SOCU 5009).
- An 18,000 word thesis, which is developed in consultation with a
supervisor, who is a staff member of the School of International
Studies with research expertise in an appropriate area. See
http://www.unisa.edu.au/sis/research/research_activities.asp for
information on the research expertise of staff.
For further details, have a look in the
Honours handbook (PDF), or feel
free to contact the Program Director Dr Tim Curnow via email
tim.curnow@unisa.edu.au or

prefer to discuss Honours directly with them.
