As a social science, sociologists rely on systematic quantitative and qualitative methods for collecting and analyzing data.Sociology is made up of various subfields: social inequality; race and ethnicity; sex, gender, and sexuality; health and illness; politics and social movements; migration and refugees; religion; family; work and the economy; organizations; technology, sociological theory, etc.If you are interested in learning how to design, conduct, and understand social scientific research, sociology may be for you.Our sociology programme focuses on providing students with a foundation in social scientific research methods. Students learn how to design, conduct, and consume quantitative and qualitative research, while also learning what sociologists have discovered about the social world.
