    Sexology

    About

    This course builds on the knowledge and skills you gained in the graduate certificate and progresses to the biological, psychological and social aspects of human sexuality and various research methods.

    Youll have access to the same range of units as the graduate certificate, allowing you to review different attitudes and values, and learn about sexual and reproductive public health issues, forensic sexology, and sexology from various cultural perspectives. However, since youll be required to study more units, you will gain a more comprehensive understanding of human sexuality.

    You will also learn about health research methods, to build your capabilities in data analysis, reporting techniques and ethical considerations when researching.

    After successfully completing this course, you may enrol in the master degree.

    Note: media material of a sexually graphic nature is utilised in this course.

    Please refer to the handbook for additional course information.
