| 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. | 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 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. |
