Having a deeper understanding of social existence is thought-provoking and insightful. Sociology provided me with a framework of knowledge that continues to play a large role in my television career.

Main story pull quote: Understanding people, our daily interactions and the societies we live in plays a significant role in understanding our media industry and the daily habitual practices of how we engage with media in a changing landscape.

Exploring the ways humans interact

From the power of global cities to the rise of social media, my studies in Sociology scoped an enormously broad range of topics and shed new light on the ways in which we ‘think’ about society.

I’ve always been interested in social interaction and the ways in which we co-exist in society. Without going down a scientific or medical path, I wanted to study these from a social perspective and explore the complex processes of human relationships that we live out seamlessly. The media was always an area of fascination to me, and sociology allowed me to explore the 'why' and 'how' of it's social power in our world today.

Learning to understand people

In my career in the television industry I use sociology as a sort of tool belt that follows me wherever I go. Understanding people, our daily interactions and the societies we live in plays a significant role in understanding our media industry and the daily habitual practices of engaging with media on multiple platforms.

Bachelor of Arts student in Sociology

Pull quote: I chose Victoria University as I have a strong interest in politics and how it influences wider society.

Seeing a way to make the world better

Sociology at Victoria has taught me so much about the fate of the world and the issues society now faces.

Through attending university, I hoped to find answers to the big questions’ of our time. There is so much doom and gloom about the future of the world and through what I have learnt in my Sociology degree, I see a way forward for the betterment of society.

It has given me hope that the current issues of our world, such as high and increasing levels of inequality, can be changed.

Building connections

This hope comes in part from connecting with people who have similar values and ideals as me. This goes as far as the lecturers and tutors within the Sociology department. They are incredibly approachable, open to questions, and always available for a chat.

A wide-ranging view

Another appealing element of Sociology at Victoria is the wide variety of subject matter. I have taken courses that have focused on gender and bodies, sociological theory, and micro-sociology. I have learnt more about New Zealand, its history, and politics through Sociology than through any other subject.

Most importantly, Sociology has taught me how to think. I no longer take things at face value and my study helps me to see how interconnected the world is.
