社会学 Sociology

Sociology is concerned with the study of the modern world, how it came into being, and the challenges and crises that it faces at local, national, and global levels. Our MA in Sociology at UCC will provide you with an opportunity to study advanced sociological concepts and methods, and put your research interests into practice by enabling you to conduct your own sustained research project. The course is divided into two main components; preparatory modules and a research project. There are core modules in theory and methods and elective modules covering topics like populism and the far-right, violence and conflict, the environment and climate change, gender and sexuality, borders and migration, amongst many other pressing and relevant issues impacting our world today.
