Overview

This professional Master of Science (M.Sc.) programme in sociology combines training in quantitative and qualitative research methods with an applied research internship. Students produce a substantial scientific report based on fieldwork, engaging with contemporary sociology seminars and multidisciplinary faculty expertise, and develop the ability to intervene autonomously on social problems. The 45-credit curriculum is completed over an estimated two years of full-time study, with part-time study also available. Courses are offered on a flexible schedule, during the day, in the evening, or at a distance. Admission is offered for the Fall term only.
