| What it is | A three-year sociology degree means you study how people, groups, and societies work — from families and workplaces to culture and inequality. Unlike psychology, which focuses on the individual mind, sociology examines patterns across whole communities and institutions. The program includes a co-op placement, giving you real work experience in fields like research, policy, or social services. This suits people curious about social issues who want both classroom theory and hands-on professional experience. | You study how gender, feminism, and power shape society by combining feminist theory with sociology's analysis of social structures and inequality. Unlike a straight sociology program, you examine gender as a central lens across all topics — from work and family to politics and culture. This suits students interested in understanding social change, inequality, and how identity intersects with institutions, who want classroom learning paired with work experience. | This program explores how science and technology shape society and vice versa — you study the social impacts of innovation, policy, ethics, and how people use technology in everyday life. Unlike a straight science or engineering program, you examine the human and social side of technical change rather than just the technical details. It suits students curious about how technology affects people and society who want hands-on work experience alongside their studies through the integrated co-op requirement. |
