Courses offered within the School cover a range of social science disciplines and interdisciplinary issues (Anthropology, Asian Studies, Geographical & Environmental Studies and Gender, Work and Social Inquiry), and they can count towards other academic programs in the Faculty including Bachelor of Media and Bachelor of International Studies as well as to the academic programs of other faculties and schools in the University.

From 2009, all courses will hold a value of 3 units and will be available as Level 1 and Advanced Level courses.  Advanced Level courses can be taken at either the second or third level of studies.  Some courses, (internships and capstone) can only be taken in the final semester of studies of your degree.
