Overview
Through the Sociology programme at Nanyang Technological University, you will form a strong theoretical foundation in Sociology, and build skills across various approaches to research, including quantitative and qualitative methods. You will also be given opportunities to teach – a sure way to ensure you are well acquainted with Sociology and gain valuable interaction with undergraduate students.
Opportunities
There are also opportunities to connect with NTU’s partner universities, such as NUS and SMU, and funding opportunities for independent overseas research and conference attendance. Previous graduate students of the department have undertaken research on a wide range of topics, including online gaming, Star Wars, female labour migration, ethnic minority Koreans in China, and the politics of choral groups in Singapore.
Research
We encourage our graduate students to collaborate in research projects with faculty members. Students have published co-authored articles in journals such as Symbolic Interaction, Asian Anthropology and the International Journal of environmental research and public health. NTU offers a range of funding opportunities and schemes for students to pursue their postgraduate work, such as the NTU Research Scholarship (RSS) and the Nanyang President's Graduate Scholarship (NPGS) for top candidates.
