Introduction

Investigating the Invisible, Unveiling the Uncomfortable

Sociologists examine the taken-for-granted “facts” of society, often exposing unsavoury and under-investigated parts of contemporary social life. NTU Sociology provides research training through full-time and part-time M.A. and PhD by research, designed to give you the academic training needed to pursue your interests and produce rigorous social science.
