Course Aims

The internship is designed to provide students with an opportunity to integrate sociological knowledge with the practical experience in local and/or international contexts for a period of time. Students are expected to gain in-depth and practical understanding of private or public sector operations and the professional contexts in which they can recognize the value of sociological practices. Sociological practices refer to the applications of sociological theories and methods learned in the formal curriculum to develop creative solution at some levels. The level can be micro, as when, for instance, sociological practice affects individuals served by an NGO; or meso, as when practice brings positive changes at the organizational level; or macro, as when practice informs the advocacy of social policy at societal level.
