The four-year Bachelor of Social Sciences Honours in Industrial Sociology and Labour Studies programme explores the changing nature of global workplaces, industries, worker struggles and work dynamics with a view to strengthening the ability of undergraduate students to generate solutions and initiatives that address the continent’s industrial/labour needs. The programme places culture, research, change, industrialisation and innovation at the center of its analysis through an examination of Africa’s cultural, technological, work, labour, environmental, climatic, economic, political and innovation experience. Considerable emphasis is placed on guiding students to conduct independent research relating to industrial work and labour organization in industries of the 21st century.
