Department of Sociology
SOCIETY. INTERACTION. BEHAVIOUR.
Sociology is the study of society, including the interaction between individuals, groups, and institutions.
The application of sociological thinking can lead to a better understanding of social problems and issues and suggestions about how these issues may be overcome in real-world terms.
By studying Sociology, you will gain insight into how people interact with one another and how values and beliefs both shape and are shaped by the structures and processes around us. The primary goal of the discipline is to stimulate sociological thinking—applying imagination and critical analysis to the many facets of social life.
