Message from the Head of Department
Prof. Yuet-wah Cheung
Sociology is an interesting discipline that examines how the structures and processes of groups, organizations and societies influence the values and behaviours of individuals and their social interaction. It investigates a range of social institutions, including the family, school, workplace, religion, government, and economy, using sociological concepts and theories to analyze social phenomena pertaining to social institutions and social life in the context of social change. Findings of sociological research oftentimes have social impact and policy implications.How is sociology taught and learned in our department? What is the uniqueness of our department among sociology departments in other universities in Hong Kong? How will our curriculum benefit students in not only providing academic training, but also enhancing their employability in the workplace? We welcome you to browse our website for more details.

專修範疇 - 「文化、文化遺產與創新」及「企業精神與社區 」
創辦 White Whale 古著店，與四年大學所學有很密切關係。我深深體驗到，今天我們生活在都巿，承傳著歷史與文化，串連著世界的文明，再以這些養份去創新未來，活化社區。學習社會學，讓我感受到將來有無限的可能性。
海外交流
在瑞典交流期間，體驗到瑞典人對大自然的熱愛。因此在日常生活中，也與他們一起學習如何減少對地球的傷害。交流學習也觸發我以鄉郊土地發展與保育之間的矛盾，作為我的畢業論文題目。
實習課程
"實習經驗是我與弱勢社群的接觸點，某程度上驅使了我繼續服務社區" - Delphica
"透過實習我發現了自己想從事培訓方面的工作，因此我現在選擇在香港航空人力資源管理部門工作" - Christina
何嘉儀 - 《 行走吧！旅孩》作者
從社會學到旅行出走這個過程，到我成立自己的服飾事業和出版一本書，想著如何啟發別人，貢獻社會，都令我很有滿足感。如果當年沒有選擇社會學，或許就沒有這份「執著」。執著在保存精神文化的使命，執著在尋找我自己生活的意義，別讓自己淹沒在物質主義的洪流。
