Postgraduate Certificate in Sociology of Education.
The sociology of education is a branch of sociology that focuses on understanding how social processes affect and are affected by education. This discipline examines educational systems and the impact they have had on society, as well as the relationship between education and social inequalities. It also analyzes how education functions as a mechanism of cultural and social transmission and how it influences social mobility and employment opportunities. At TECH Global University we have this academic program designed with the objective of providing an in-depth understanding of the social and cultural processes that affect education and how education, in turn, affects society.
The sociology of education is an interdisciplinary discipline and draws on contributions and developments from other fields, such as anthropology, psychology, economics and politics. In the development of the sociology of education, qualitative and quantitative methods are used to conduct empirical research and to analyze the impact of education on society and on the construction of social and cultural identities. In our Postgraduate Certificate you will learn basic concepts of sociology and education. It is an excellent option for those who wish to acquire specialized skills and develop a successful career in this field.
