What it is	Sociology is the study of how people live together in groups — families, communities, workplaces, societies — and why social patterns form the way they do. You'll examine real issues like inequality, culture, institutions, and human behaviour through research and theory. It suits people curious about why societies work as they do and interested in understanding social change.	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.	This program combines the study of how young people develop and behave with the study of how society works and institutions function. You'll examine topics like family dynamics, education systems, social inequality, and policy that affects children and youth, drawing on psychology and social work perspectives. It suits students who want to understand people and social structures in depth before moving into careers like social work, education, counselling, or community development.
