MA Sociology

"Man is by nature a social animal"
~ Aristotle
A Master of Arts in Sociology is a two-year academic program that follows a BA or BSc degree in sociology. According to the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, man is a social animal and cannot survive alone. People engage with one another for their needs and desires when they live together and form civilizations. Social behaviors, relationships, and culture are all shaped by these interactions. Sociologists' role is to investigate the nature of these social interactions and the challenges that may arise from them.
Sociologists conduct research, collect data, and evaluate it using advanced technologies so that various societal entities can use the study's findings to improve things and eliminate the elements that are damaging the social structure. MS in Sociology provides an opportunity for individuals who want to enhance the social system and maintain it.
