The Dual Major Programme in Political Science and Sociology offers an integrated understanding of the structures, dynamics and interactions that shape societies and governance systems. It combines the analytical tools of political science with its focus on power, institutions and public policy with the sociological study of culture, social change and human behaviour. This interdisciplinary approach enables students to critically examine issues such as democracy, social justice, inequality, globalization and identity.
Political Science enables learners to interpret complex societal issues, propose solutions, and engage in meaningful dialogue on matters of public concern. It equips them with the analytical and critical skills needed to evaluate political systems, policies, and institutions, fostering informed citizenship and active participation in democratic processes. The curriculum emphasizes critical reflection on key themes such as democracy, authoritarianism, international relations, and policy-making, thereby cultivating a nuanced understanding of power and its implications for society.
Sociology equips learners with the theoretical and analytical tools to critically examine how human behaviour is influenced by social structures, cultural norms, and the processes of globalization. By studying areas such as family, education, and media, students gain valuable insights into the patterns that shape social interaction, identity formation, and community life.
