SAU helps you do Sociology in a creative way. It engages you with the everyday and lets you have a dialogue with it making vivid that ‘sociology’ is out there in your vicinity rather than confining you to the academic texts alone. In short, the experience of studying sociology at SAU has been engrossing and fascinating!

It was my great pleasure to be a part of a novel idea of bringing South Asian students together under a single roof. I had a great opportunity to get the taste of multicultural diversity of different nations around this region. The university provides an environment where people can share their views, ideas, and joys and can get the opportunity to know each other very firmly. Now we are starting to think together to bring back our unity towards a prosperous South Asia.

I spent two years at SAU and one of the things which gives me a comparative advantage at the job market is the ability to do quality research. The emphasis on assignments at SAU teaches you everything about research.Adding to this, SAU graduates are South Asian experts through experience and interaction with
SAARC students.
