- Global Studies
- Gender Studies

Additionally, you're required to take a minor to complement your major. As with the arts and social sciences major, you can also choose to do a second minor. The majors listed above can double up as minors if you did not choose them as your majors, or you can opt to pursue the following minors:
- Public Relations
- Writing
The Public Relations minor equips you with the tactical communication skills you need to build strategic relationships and successfully influence public opinion. You will learn how to carefully manage the reputations of important organisations and forge impactful business relationships against a constantly shifting media landscape. The skills you develop will allow you to navigate nuanced cultural and political contexts with confidence, communicating complex ideas to diverse audiences of people and building relationships that benefit organizations, communities, and society at large.
The minor begins with introductory units which illustrate where Public Relations sits within the wider communications landscape, and equip you with various analytical tools and approaches. You will later have the opportunity to craft a community engagement program from scratch, learning the skills of project design and campaign planning. Your final year will give you in-depth exposure to actual case studies from different countries and regions, helping you apply strategic problem-solving to real challenges faced by PR practitioners. The themes you explore throughout the minor are designed to complement other areas of study at SASS, such as communication, film, television, and screen studies, gender studies, global studies, and writing. Graduates can expect to be confident, informed, and skillful public communicators, capable of managing strategic campaigns and maintaining productive, engaging relationships across different industries.
