SOCIO2597 Qualitative Social Research
Qualitative research in sociology involves the study of groups and/or individuals in what is often called their `natural setting¿, that is, as they go about or make sense of their daily lives. This course introduces the fundamental elements of a qualitative research approach to research in the social sciences. Students will be introduced to key methodological concepts and discussions, as well as qualitative techniques of data collection.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
