Sociology

 

When entering the sociology program, one must know in advance that practical internships won't occur until the third or fourth year, which I consider quite logical because it's necessary to have extensive knowledge of the most important topics in order to gain any meaningful work experience. Regarding the job market, at least my professors have told me that while it may not be vast, it is diverse. It may sound strange, but it makes sense since you can work in various sectors, public and private. As for the curriculum, at least for now, I wouldn't make any changes to the courses. As a first-year student, all of them serve as the foundation for further progression in the following years. My favorite subjects are philosophy and social psychology. The reasons why I enjoy them are both the professors who explain the material well and make the classes engaging, and as a student, in philosophy, we study influential philosophers such as Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Hobbes, Locke, Kant, and so on. In social psychology, we explore essential concepts that we will use throughout the program, such as social representations, social roles, stereotypes, norms, and social constructs. Honestly, I feel that the academic workload can be heavy, but not generally, as long as you read the assigned readings in advance, they won't pile up, and the grades often involve group work.
