Location of Tilburg University
The Master in Sociology is a one-year, English-taught program containing 60 ECTS credits.
The program focuses on the sociological analysis of problems of social cohesion in contemporary Western societies, from both a micro perspective (family, social networks, crime) and from a macro perspective (welfare state, solidarity). The Master's program has a theoretical and empirical research focus. This means that social problems and issues are translated into sociological research questions, which are then analyzed using sociological theories, models, advanced research methods and statistical techniques. In addition to this, students will then learn how policy solutions can be derived from the results of this sociological analysis, and to evaluate the implementation of these solutions. The broad and in-depth knowledge acquired during your Sociology studies will enable you to make a substantial contribution to the analysis and solution of today's social problems.
