Study Involve: Take courses as diverse as crime and justice, religion, health, gender and sexualities, death, and migration. Flexible course options so you can study a field of Sociology that suits your specific interests. Courses are hands-on and you will have the opportunity to do meaningful research, to create and analyse evidence, and to draw your own conclusions.
