Students taking a Sociology major develop a ‘sociological imagination’, a distinctive way of thinking that enables them to (a) problematise taken-for-granted assumptions, (b) ask critically informed questions, (c) conduct independent social research, and (d) formulate in-depth understandings of social life and relations. They also learn a set of cognitive and transferable skills that help them shape broader intellectual and policy debates on various social issues. It is, therefore, a recognised and highly valued qualification in many career paths.
