Studying the Bachelor of Social Science (Social Justice and Anthropology), you will cover a wide range of topics, including the nature of human behaviour and how people live and work together in various kinds of social groups. Your studies can be used to address some of society’s most compelling questions on war, gender, discrimination, racism and other equal divisions of power.
At USQ, Anthropology goes beyond the traditional idea of studying remote societies and cultures, and looks at the social and cultural experiences of our own lives.
