Course Description

The M.A. Sociology Work-Linked Degree program allows students to combine academic learning with practical exposure to social research, policy analysis, and community development projects. Delivered online, the program enables learners to study advanced sociological theories, research methodologies, and applied social studies while interning with NGOs, research organizations, or government institutions.

Through the work-linked model, students gain hands-on experience in survey design, data analysis, social policy evaluation, and community engagement. The internship is credit-based and comes with a stipend, allowing learners to earn while they learn and build a professional profile alongside academic credentials.

This format is ideal for students who want to bridge theory and practice, enhancing career prospects in research, social policy, development, and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
