SOCOG1109 The New China
This course introduces students to Chinese politics, culture, society and economic development since its economic reform in 1978. It investigates the major ideological debates in China and explores the social, cultural and political background of this new economic super power. Issues regarding equity and social justice for women, ethnic minorities and other community groups are discussed. Dilemmas facing Chinese people in balancing economic development and environmental protection, collective goods and individual human rights are examined. The cultural foundation for the current authoritarian style of leadership and future of democracy in China are explored.
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.
