BHST-MIN Behavioural studies

The minor in Behavioural studies has a particular focus on social behaviour. This minor allows you to develop a strong understanding of human and social behaviour that complement a range of majors on offer within the Bachelor of Arts. The discipline draws on historical and emerging insights from psychological, philosophical, biological, cultural and political explanations of human behaviour. The minor also provides you with a strong foundation in social research methods. If you are completing a major in anthropology, criminology, sociology, politics or international relations you may benefit from completing this minor.

The Behavioural studies minor allows you to develop skills highly valued by employers, including interpersonal and communication skills, teamwork skills and critical reasoning and analytical skills. On completion you will have developed an advanced level of emotional intelligence, giving you insight into your own behaviour and motivations of yourself and of others, making you socially savvy and a highly marketable employee.
