About This Course
Sociology explores how people live within society and the relationships between individuals in social contexts. As a field of study, it encourages students to think critically and challenge what may appear self-evident. It also equips them with research skills and the ability to handle information thoughtfully, while remaining mindful of ethical considerations in the empirical aspects of the discipline.
