For BA students undertaking majors in both Sociology and Criminology

Students undertaking a Bachelor of Arts majoring in both Criminology and Sociology should note that from 2017, the three research methods courses are compulsory for both majors. These courses are:

SOCY2019 - Introduction to social research
SOCY2339 - Introducing Quantitative Research
SOCY3329 - Qualitative Social Research

As a course can only count toward one major within the program, you must decide which major (out of Criminology or Sociology) that each course will count towards. You can elect to have all three courses count toward one major, or a combination toward both majors. Please note that you will also need to take 6 units of advanced (level 2 or higher) sociology and/or criminology electives to make up the unit shortfall. For example:
