MSc Sociology

Sociology is an exciting discipline that attempts to study human social behaviour scientifically. It encourages an objective and dispassionate approach to the analysis of human social activity. The programme covers topics such as social theory, research methods, Caribbean culture, social policy development, health care, politics and social problems. Sociology can be a great area of study for those interested in pursuing careers in teaching, research, planning, demography, cultural studies and statistics. In addition, sociology majors may choose to continue in sociological research by pursuing the MPhil or PhD. Students should be prepared to demonstrate strong research and writing skills and have an aptitude for statistical analysis. Students should be prepared to collect and analyse data, write analytical papers and give presentations.
