For foreign students, the advantages of sociology of choice lie in:
Sociology covers a wide range, and students of arts and sciences can find research topics and directions of sociology.
(2) Sociology is not tricky. Although we often see some abstract nouns in sociology textbooks, on the whole, it is an exploration of human society. As social people, it is not difficult to reasonably explain our living environment and social problems.
③ The entrance examination for sociology is relatively simple. First of all, many universities in Japan offer sociology or sociology-related courses, giving students a wide range of choices. Secondly, sociology is different from science and engineering, and there is no absolute right or wrong in every study, so the criteria for judging are relatively loose. As long as students can properly explain the sociological terms or social topics appearing in the test questions and have enough ability to expand their own research topics, the probability of passing is usually very high.
Sociology is mainly offered by the research department of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences of the University of Tokyo in the famous universities in the Japanese capital circle; Hitotsubashi university Institute of Sociology, Keio University Institute of Sociology, Tokyo Institute of Humanities, Capital University; Waseda University Department of Social Sciences; Department of International Japanese, Meiji University, etc.
The above is the introduction of sociology major in Japanese universities. Many international students who choose sociology major in Japan are not from sociology background during their undergraduate years, but they all choose this subject as their master's or even doctoral studies.
