Programme Overview

Sociology means the “science of society”. It aims to use scientific methods such as questionnaire survey, in-depth interview and field observation to study human behaviors in a social setting.

Sociology students are not passive learners; rather they have a practical mindset. They want to know how social inequalities and poverty can be overcome, and propose feasible solutions to these and other social problems.

Another key concern of sociology is to build an inclusive society for all citizens, in which disadvantaged and marginal groups such as ethnic minorities can have the same opportunities to follow their dreams.

Sociology students are interested to study how social institutions such as the family, education, economy, government and non-profit organizations operate. They want to figure out how various social groups can cooperate with each other to bring about positive social change, such as promoting the well-being of the elderly, women, workers, and other people in need.
