Visit deakin.edu.au for detailed discipline and course information, including a description of the units within each degree.

AnthropologyWhat does it mean to be human? Anthropologists ask and strive to answer this question by studying humanity in the broadest sense. We analyse the lives of people in a range of societies and gain insights into the science behind human existence to understand how we relate to our environments. This allows us to understand how to work with people in diverse and international settings.

ArabicAustralia’s trade with the Middle East has more than doubled in the past decade, making it an increasingly important region with broad strategic, economic, religious and cultural influence. Develop Arabic language fluency, and enhance it through an understanding of Middle Eastern history, culture and society.

Arabic at Deakin is a national award-winning program, with in-country language programs available to students.

Buddhist studiesGain a multi-dimensional understanding of Buddhist cultures, philosophies and practices in traditional settings and contemporary interpretations. Develop knowledge of the major Buddhist traditions and learn how core Buddhist practices and ideas – such as mindfulness meditation – are adapted in contemporary western settings and impact our ideas of personal development.

ChineseAdd an international aspect to your degree to further your career opportunities. China is one of Australia’s biggest trading partners and Standard Chinese, commonly known as Mandarin Chinese, is a major language of the world. It’s the official language in the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan and Singapore and widely used in community groups in Hong Kong, South-East Asia, North America and Australia. Chinese is also one of the five official languages of the United Nations.

CriminologyCriminology explores why and how some behaviours are defined as ‘criminal’ within society. It also considers ways to minimise crime and harm, and critically examines existing criminal justice policies, practices and institutions. To consider questions of justice, criminology draws on a number of disciplines including psychology, law, sociology, history and politics.

Deakin has one of the few dedicated criminology courses in Australia and the most established in Victoria. Designed in conjunction with professional bodies including Victoria Police and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, the course covers a wide variety of criminology topics, including cyber security, surveillance, anti-terrorism and policing.

Gender and sexuality studiesGender and sexuality play important roles in people’s lives and society. This discipline gives you an analytical approach to the significance of sex, gender and sexuality and the important roles they often play in how we understand ourselves and the structures we live in. You’ll develop the skills and knowledge to research, analyse and discuss expressions of gender and sexuality in different historical periods and in different cultural contexts.

Geography and societyAre you interested in understanding key geographical concepts and techniques to analyse and solve field-based problems? Geography and society at Deakin blends social theory and research with political practice to examine social and spatial structures, as well as policy interventions to address related problems. You’ll explore why space, location and mobility matters in the constitution of society and the built environment, and learn how to connect social theory to practice and policy interventions.

HistoryUnderstand the makings of the modern world. We cover topics such as world history of the twentieth century, nineteenth and twentieth century Australian history (including indigenous–settler encounters), European history, Asian, American and Pacific histories and gender in history. You’ll be taught by Deakin’s renowned historians, who are at the forefront of bringing history into public conversations.

IndonesianAs the national language of the largest country in South East Asia, learning Indonesian in the Australian context makes good sense. Strong links between Australia and Indonesia offer significant opportunities for engagement. You’ll also learn about Indonesian history and culture to develop a deeper understanding of the Indonesian nation and its people. Study options include intensive language programs in Indonesia offering enhanced opportunities for experiential learning and intercultural engagement.

International relationsEnhance your understanding of the key political dynamics of our time. International relations encompasses the study of policy-related dynamics such as diplomacy, foreign policy and global governance, as well as theoretical dynamics relating to questions of order, justice and resistance in world politics. It also considers questions relating to the changing nature of world politics, evident in emerging forms of regionalism and globalisation.

Islamic studiesIslam is one of the three major Abrahamic faiths and is the world’s fastest growing religion, predicted to overtake Christianity as the pre-eminent creed in the next 50 years. Both Islam and Muslims are often in the media and a major focus of politics at both the state and federal level – but discussions are subject to inaccuracies and misinformation. This study area will help you understand Islam through theoretical and textual analysis, while simultaneously analysing popular culture and current affairs.

DisciplinesLanguage and culture studiesLearn the language and cultural context of the world’s most strategically important languages – Arabic, Chinese or Indonesian. You will have unique opportunities to study overseas as part of your degree for a truly immersive learning experience. Learning a language can be fun and rewarding and builds transferable career skills like interpersonal communication.

Middle East studiesDeakin is at the forefront of Australian universities to offer a major in Middle East studies, making us best placed to give you a comprehensive understanding of the events and issues shaping the region. With an emphasis on both historical and contemporary issues relevant to the analysis of the Middle East, you’ll explore the region’s position in the international system.

PhilosophyWhat is philosophy? It literally translates as the ‘love of wisdom’. Philosophy asks some of the most fundamental questions that you’ll face in your life. Who or what are you? What do you know, and how do you know what you know? If you value questions as well as answers, philosophy is for you. Join us and investigate topics such as reality, existence, knowledge, values and language.

Politics and policy studiesEnhance your understanding of the big issues in the world today, and develop the skills to make a difference in your lifetime. You’ll investigate the challenges posed to Australia and the world by climate change; asylum seekers and refugees; development; inequality; political parties and new social movements. Examine the ideas behind the policy and the rhetoric – and look globally for different solutions; investigate how policy lessons are learned; and assess the impact on domestic and global politics.

Professional experience and practiceWe live in a rapidly changing world on the cusp of an employment revolution. While many of the jobs of today won’t exist in the future, many of the jobs of the future don’t yet exist today. How, then, can you best prepare for a career path that remains largely unknown? This study area offers you real-world learning experiences and is designed to advance your employment outcomes.

Religious studiesUnderstanding religion has seldom been as important as it is today. There is increasing dialogue among the greater religions of the world, but there is also increasing misunderstanding of religious traditions – one’s own and other people’s. Religious studies at Deakin explores religion from diverse viewpoints, with units from the disciplines of anthropology, philosophy, sociology, literary and cultural studies, and others.

SociologyStudy society, social groups and social relations. Thinking sociologically lets you critically understand the processes that shape the society we live in and the cultures within it. As a sociology student, you’ll explore key aspects of everyday life including ethnicity, religion, gender, migration, consumerism, globalisation, deviance, health, youth culture and intimate relationships.

SpanishDevelop your Spanish language skills to build a global career. Learning a language is not only fun, it gives you insight into different cultures, develops your adaptability and communication skills, and makes you more employable.

Spanish is a major international language with more than 400 million speakers on five continents. It is the national language of more than twenty countries and the second most widely spoken language in the world. Spanish is an official language of the United Nations and of other international organisations such as the European Union and the Organisation of American States. In Australia, Spanish is one of the eight most common languages (excluding English) spoken in the home (ABS Census data 2016).

Sport and societySport’s prominent role in society can be traced back to the ancient Olympics in Greece more than 2700 years ago. Today, sport enjoys ever-increasing popularity and influence – with a profound impact on society from cultural, social, educational, political and economic perspectives.

Explore key issues surrounding sport’s role – past and present – in the modern world in a structured and meaningful way. Through an interdisciplinary approach, you’ll discover a rich and diverse blend of units from history, sociology, education, business and health.

Sustainability and societySustainability is an increasingly important factor in private and public sectors, guiding behaviour and decision-making. The discipline explores the increasing social demand for a sustainable future and issues such as managing our environmental and social expectations.
