| 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 human societies work and how people live together — sociology focuses on modern society and social structures, while anthropology looks at different cultures across time and place. Together they give you tools to understand why people behave the way they do, both in your own community and elsewhere in the world. This program suits people curious about human behaviour who want to explore it from multiple angles rather than pick just one approach. | This program examines how gender and sex shape society, history, culture, and power across different fields like sociology, social work, and other disciplines. Unlike a straight sociology degree, it centres gender and feminist perspectives as the main lens for understanding social issues. It suits students interested in understanding inequality and social change, especially those drawn to activism, policy work, or community-based careers. |
