What sociology degrees cover
Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to core theories about how societies work, from small groups to whole nations. You will also learn research methods, including how to design surveys, conduct interviews, and analyse data. Typical topics include family, education, crime, religion, urban life, and social inequality. Along the way, you build skills in critical thinking, argument, and interpreting evidence, which are useful in many careers.
How competitive entry is
Entry to this programme is less competitive compared to many other degree courses at university level. This means that if you meet the basic admissions requirements, including the WASSCE grades Central University expects, you have a good chance of being offered a place. As with any course, you should check the specific subject grades required for sociology, as they can be different from those for other social science programmes.
