The Department of Sociology conducts research on a myriad of events in everyday life in relation to “social structures and norms”, “human relationships” and “attitudes and values”.
Field of Study
In the Department of Sociology, our students learn how to discover, clarify and solve problems within contemporary society. Lecture courses are intertwined with specialist seminar courses and within those students can select multiple research topics, allowing them to actively pursue their fields of interest in sociology and explore them in depth.
Policy
The Department of Sociology aims to nurture individuals who are capable of:
"discovering problems arising in society"
"understanding the diversity" of people with differing values, cultures, and attributes
"conducting empirical research through surveys and investigations" to clarify and illuminate social reality
"thinking theoretically" based on the theoretical frameworks and methods developed and amassed by the field of sociology, and
“conceptualizing society and making proposals based upon those concepts” to lead to solutions for problems that arise in society.
