Profile
The Master of Science in Sociology focuses on three main parts:A solid, general formation in advanced sociological courses on health sociology, migration, education, policy and organisation and quantitative analysis, that will unravel the secrets of multilevel analysis.Students can choose an applied major in which practical skills are developed (International Internship, Policy and Management or Skills Lab). Students design their own trajectory based on their personal interest, future career prospects and ambitions.A research based master dissertation in which you perform your own quantitative or qualitative research, and write it up in a scientific paper. The master dissertation is supervised by a Ghent University professor. It can be done in combination with your internship (for instance through interviews of respondents during your stay abroad).The first semester of the programme is fully dedicated to the core mandatory advanced sociological courses. From the start students begin preparing for their master dissertation or internship. This program is a one-year programme with a high pace but is feasible thanks to the gradual planning. By the end of the first semester, students should have taken all exams and can fully concentrate on their major and master dissertation. At the end of the second semester the course Social Dynamics of Policy and Organisation helps to digest the experiences developed during the thesis research, the internship and the other courses.
