| What it is | This program combines the study of how science and technology shape society and how social forces influence technological development. Unlike a pure science or pure sociology program, you examine the relationship between the two — asking questions like how social values affect which technologies get built, or how new technology changes the way people live. It suits students curious about the real-world impact of innovation who want social science thinking alongside technical understanding. | You study how people communicate and how society works, combining media, journalism, and social analysis. Unlike a program focused only on communication or only on sociology, this joint degree lets you examine both how messages spread through society and why societies function the way they do. It suits students interested in understanding culture, institutions, and human behaviour through multiple lenses, and who want practical work experience alongside their studies. | You study both communication and sociology together as equal partners over four years, learning how people share information and how societies function. Unlike a program that focuses on just one field, this bidisciplinary approach lets you explore media, journalism, and social structures side by side, seeing how they connect. It suits people curious about why people and groups behave the way they do, and who want to understand the role of communication in shaping society. |
