Students will take compulsory core courses and choose from a range of elective courses. In the final year, students are encouraged to take on either their undergraduate thesis or independent study courses.

Our coursework provides foundational training in how sociologists and/or anthropologists frame questions about the social world. Students learn about the methodologies sociologists and/or anthropologists use in empirical research and receive training in both qualitative and quantitative methods. These courses teach skills in critical thinking and communicating complex ideas. They also expose students to a range of interesting social, political, and economic phenomena in Singapore and elsewhere.

Our courses are therefore taught by people who are passionate about and specialists in many areas of study. Faculty at NUS Sociology and Anthropology have active research pursuits in a wide range of areas, such as border and security, migration and social intergration; urban sustainability; social forces shaping science and technology; ageing, and health; demographic changes and the sociology of the family; social policy and state power; gender, class, and ethnic racial inequalities; political economy of work and food; religion and religiosity.
