In the first block of the first semester, we will offer the following courses (their names are identical to the names of the 4 trajectories). Students will choose 2 out of these 4 courses of 6 ECTS each:

• Gender, Sexuality and Culture
• Migration, Race and Ethnicity
• Social Problems and Public Policy
• Economy, Work and Culture

In the second and third block students will follow 2 out of 4 courses of 9 ECTS each:

• Body, Emotions and Culture
• Vulnerability and Inequality
• Welfare States and Markets: Care, Work, Education
• Sustainable Cities

In the second semester students will work with a supervisor and a small group of students on their own research project. Methodology training will also happen in this small-scale intensive setting to allow for a hands-on approach that is tailored to the project.

To gain professional experience in the field of Sociology, you can replace one of the electives with an internship.

A large part of your programme focuses on self-study. You will have around eight contact hours a week. The remaining time will be devoted to reading literature, doing research and writing papers and essays.
