Ryan Law
(2018 Graduate of Sociology)
I was unsure of my own interest when I applied for the university because I was deeply interested in both Sociology and Journalism & Communication. The former applies sociological theories to analyze social phenomena, whereas the latter gives me the sight of a journalist to understand the society. Therefore, I chose Social Science broad-based admission line. This scheme allowed me to take courses from both disciplines freely without committing to a major programme during my first year. This helped me to understand the difference between the two disciplines and confirm my genuine interest. Without having this opportunity in the first year, I would not be so determined to study Sociology because of the doubt I had.
