Hi dear❤️ I am person who really love sociology sincerely But the thing is i have been facing some toxic advices from my closed ones.. In asia there is a norm that we are actually only meant to take science subjects So after all this headache i decided to actually research about sociology.. And i ended up in your channel.. Now i am literally feeling so happy after all those struggles Now i am pretty sorted and decide to pursue my dream career that is sociology Thankyou so much Joelle for guiding me.. 🌈💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🌻
I am in the very first week of pursuing a sociology major. Being it's my first week, I am still very uncertain and concerned about my choice. Seeing your love for sociology and hearing your perspective is very inspiring and reassuring to me. Thank you. #iLoveSociology
Hey! I'm so glad that this can help you, don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to see specific videos and wishing you all the best in your studies :)
I'm loving your videos so much! I majored in Sociology 12 years ago (🤯) and found your channel as I'm looking to switch to UX Research/Design. I wish my younger self had this resource. Thanks for posting your journey and sharing with others your passion for sociology.
I am a 3rd year Sociology student at Sheffield Hallam University. Currently, I am looking into a postgraduate degree (MRES Social Science). The belief that a Sociology degree is inherently "useless" really only stems from misconceptions and silly ideas of some work being more valuable than others (STEM vs. arts, for example!). Lots of employers view a degree in Sociology positively. It develops our ability to think critically and enhances our own social perceptiveness. In our current climate, there's a call for institutions such as the police to teach this subject - that's how useful it is. I love Sociology and if it's your cup of tea, it's totally worth studying. It's as valuable as any degree that doesn't have a specific career route (History and English, for example). How a degree is used is totally up to the individual. For almost any degree, job prospects depend entirely on patience, will, and opportunity. Nothing to do with uselessness/no skills. Usually, Soc students go on to further study anyway, which really helps you specialise in your skills/interests. Best of luck with the degree with the rest of your degree, Joelle!
yep exactly, and I would also say that it's a way that those in power suppress critical thought (and critique of power). wishing you all the best as well!
I was thinking of majoring in sociology with a concentration in criminology with a double minor in psychology and child and youth studies with co-op(3 work terms(paid). I was thinking masters in psychology or criminology. I would love to pursue a career in criminal Justice and mental health/addiction.
I’m considering about studying sociology at uni next year ( i’m in year 13 ) but I’m not sure whether I should. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really interested in the subject and do it at A-level, but wanted an insight of the jobs the degree will offer
Hi! I'm so glad you're considering studying sociology! I get this question all the time and I will make a video addressing this and other qus, but in brief: studying sociology is much like studying any other humanity (geography, history etc), so my advice is, as long as you enjoy it, your career will work itself out. I know friends who are working in government, marketing, consulting... you have so many options. Hope that helps!
Hi Muminah! I just posted series "Pros & Cons of Studying Sociology". Check out video #1 in the series "Why You SHOULD Study Sociology" here: th-cam.com/video/RY7rjaUYoxU/w-d-xo.html Hope it helps you decide whether Sociology is right for you!
Hey, my high school is completed nd now I want to do sociology major but many people are saying that I shouldn't because there's no scope blah blah nd all but I really love this subject and also want to do higher studies.
Hey Shruti! Thanks for your comment and I'm excited that you want to study Sociology, I'd highly recommend you check out these videos of mine where I go into my plans after uni / Job opportunities. As an FYI, I've just started a job as a marketing and UX design intern, so it shows that you'll have so many options for careers after uni! th-cam.com/video/JAe8cjUNWuM/w-d-xo.html&pp=sAQA th-cam.com/video/wrKhBHIofcE/w-d-xo.html&pp=sAQA th-cam.com/video/RY7rjaUYoxU/w-d-xo.html&pp=sAQA
Hi love ur videos. It really opened my mind and cleared my doubt. I hv one question and hope u reply for it. if there is any kind of scholarship for doing master in Sociology. let me know. Thank you.
Hi! I'm considering studying Sociology and I was wondering how large an element there is of evaluating and processing statistics/quantitative data? I ask because I LOVE learning about and discussing different concepts and theories, but I really don't enjoy practical application of data-related skills.
It really depends on your course I would say! My course I barely did any quant, we only did one module in 2nd year as it is a method of research (which is super important in Sociology!) I'd say look at different courses and see how much is mandatory :)
Hi Bryan! For our essays, we get a word limit with +/- 10% leniency, so for e.g. if an essay has 2000 word limit, your minimum would be 1800 and your maximum would be 2200. But this depends on you uni and your course - hope it helps!:)
I've gotten an offer from Bath in sociology and social policy that I likely will firm so this video was really interesting! What would you say a typical day is like (not really in terms of what you study but more in terms of how your day is structured if that makes sense)?
Hi Emira! Firstly, huge congrats on your offer!! Secondly, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, I hope it was helpful :) Lastly (and to answer your question) - in first year, I had 12 contact hours a week which is 2-3 hours per day, depending on how timetabling decide to spread out your units. If you're living on campus, it's really nice because you can always pop back to your flat between lectures. In Sociology, the units are taught in a mixture of lectures and seminars which is nice. Overall, I found it quite relaxed really (in terms of contact hours, not in terms of coursework haha). Hope that helps! xx
Hey i am interested in both sociology and psychology, but there is no psychology undergraduate course where i live. can i study sociology as my undergrad and psychology as my masters?
Hi! Some places do sociology with psychology, maybe there are some near you. In terms of doing a psych masters with sociology undergrad, it's possible but if you definitely want to go down that route, research universities and their entry requirements for psych masters - you can even email them and they might be able to advise you :))
For e.g. for Bath Psychology MRes the entry requirements are "To apply for this course you should have an undergraduate degree in psychology or related discipline." www.bath.ac.uk/courses/postgraduate-2020/taught-postgraduate-courses/mres-psychology-full-time/#entry-requirements
heyy :) I'm a first year currently studying English, but im looking to transfer to sociology!! I was wondering, is it still possible to go into teaching with a sociology, because not many unis offer a PGCE in the social sciences?
100% I think it's possible. I'm not sure on the details but you can research on which schools need social science studies the most. I've also had teachers who taught more than one subject (Economics and Sociology), so having another area of expertise might be advantageous
Hi there! I'm so excited for you to study sociology! In terms of Masters in the UK, I'm not an expert in that but you can check out this page for Masters at Bath! www.bath.ac.uk/campaigns/study-for-a-masters-degree-at-bath/
Hey Gillian! I can confidently say that Bsc means nothing to do with traditional sciences in the context of Sociology. 🙌🏼 I didn't do sciences or maths beyond GCSE and I found even the quantitative methods okay as we get excel and programmes to do everything for us 😉
Sociology is a social science subject that’s similar to other social science subjects like anthropology, history, economics, and political science. It’s not a natural science like psychology, biology, chemistry, physics etc.
Hi Eugene! There are many options, perhaps not with obvious links to sociology - I have friends who work in the government - HMRC, the Foreign Office, Education etc. But sociologists can also go into marketing, HR, User Experience design/research. The possibilities are endless! Feel free to watch this video where I talk about my own plans for jobs after graduation: th-cam.com/video/JAe8cjUNWuM/w-d-xo.html
It possibly could be useful if the degree heavily focuses on research, along with quantitative stuff like higher level math, such as statistics etc. If the sociology degree only focuses on political science crap, then it’s useless. Like a lot things, always do some research and plan your life out.
If you enjoy sociology, I'd suggest going for it! It's incredibly versatile and the same, in terms of job prospects, as doing a history or geography degree (for example)
