Sociology is the scientific study of society. Sociologists study the social lives of people and groups to understand how social factors shape one’s minds and behavior. Sociology helps you understand social phenomena from different perspectives.

The Department of Sociology at CUHK has the longest history and the most comprehensive curriculum of its kind in Hong Kong. We currently focus on five research clusters: crime and deviance; economic sociology and organizations; family, gender and sexuality; health and population; stratification and education. All of our teaching staff excel in their fields of specialization.

Students are required to complete a capstone thesis project before graduation. In addition, students can choose to concentrate in one or two of the three areas of concentration: 1) Social Research, 2) Sociology and Liberal Studies, and 3) Sociology and Social Policy.

We encourage and facilitate our students to explore the world. Last year, 20+ students participated in overseas exchange. To prepare students for their future career, the Department offered 30+ internship opportunities last summer.

The Department also offers a SOC-JD double-degree option in collaboration with the Faculty of Law, and a SOC-JLM double-major option in collaboration with the School of Journalism and Communication.
