The Master in Sociology aims to train students to analyze specific issues pertaining to contemporary societies.

The Master´s program is based on methodological and theoretical courses enabling the students to develop the ability to construct a research design and to carry out a research from beginning to end. Its pedagogic strategy is based on a learning-by-doing approach through research workshops. The program also provides inter- and transdisciplinary skills covering the main domains of study of society.
