Sociology

The Learning and Assessment framework for the Sociology programme integrates a variety of instructional approaches to develop both subject knowledge and transferable skills. Instruction is delivered through blended mini‑lectures, weekly workshops, and supplementary online resources that support self‑paced study. Assessment tasks are designed to reflect professional practice and include written reports, visual posters, oral presentations, portfolio submissions, research projects, and case‑study analyses, ensuring that students can apply sociological theories to real‑world contexts while demonstrating critical thinking, data interpretation, and communication abilities. Assessment types vary across the three years, encompassing foundational modules in the first year, collaborative projects in the second year, and an independent research project in the final year, each evaluated through clearly defined criteria that emphasize analytical depth, evidence‑based argumentation, and practical relevance.
