| What it is | A sociology degree means studying how people form groups, institutions, and societies — why they act the way they do together, what shapes their beliefs and behaviours, and how power and inequality work in the real world. This four-year program includes a co-op work term, giving you paid experience in a workplace related to social research, policy, or community work. It suits people curious about how society works who want both classroom theory and hands-on practice in fields like research, social services, or communications. | 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. | 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. |
