Postgraduate Certificate in Contemporary Sociological Theory

Contemporary sociological theory is one of the most fascinating and complex areas of sociology today. In the Postgraduate Certificate taught at TECH Global University, students will explore and analyze the main approaches and authors who have contributed to the development of this discipline.

One of the main approaches addressed in the course is that of conflict theory. This theory postulates that conflict is a fundamental force in society and that social change is the result of struggle between groups with competing interests. In this sense, students will study the works of authors such as Karl Marx, Max Weber and Georg Simmel, who have made important contributions to this area of study.

Another approach analyzed in the course is the theory of social action. This theory focuses on the study of how people interact with each other and how they relate to the social structures in which they are embedded. In this context, students can examine the works of authors such as Talcott Parsons and Robert Merton, who have developed theories about social structure and the function of social institutions.

Ultimately, students in the Postgraduate Certificate in Contemporary Sociological Theory will have the opportunity to explore the most recent approaches to the field, including feminist theory and identity theory. In addition, the program covers a thorough and rigorous introduction to the main approaches and authors in this area of study. As a result, students will succeed in analyzing and discussing the most influential and recent sociological theories in order to apply them in different social and cultural contexts.
