About the Master Degree Programme in Sociology

The English language graduate study program in Sociology provides students with basic skills that enable them to conduct and interpret sociological research. The theoretical as well as methodological knowledge helps students to make sense of the rapidly changing world that we live in.

The Master Degree Program in Sociology focuses on the analysis of post-socialist societies. The structure of the programme is designed to enhance students´ analytical skills (Research Methods in Sociology, Statistical Data Analysis) as well as to develop students´ abilities to place current phenomena within the framework of contemporary social theory (Contemporary Sociological Theory, General Sociology). A comparative approach to post-socialist societies is predominant. The program covers areas that reflect the faculty´s research interests: current issues of identity formation (Changing Political and Social Identities in Post-Cold War Central Europe), resurrecting civil society (Cultural and Social Modernization in Central Europe) or the frictions caused by the co-existence of different ethnic communities – Roma, Vietnamese and Ukrainian (Ethnic Relations in the Czech Republic). The analysis of social problems generated by and intensified in the transitional period (questions of unemployment, poverty, population ageing, crisis of „traditional“ family, high divorce rates etc.) and persist to the post-transitional period forms an important part of the program.

The flexibility of the program enables students to enrol either for the whole duration of the program - a two-year study program (120 ECTS credits) or to follow an individual track by choosing any of the courses offered; the tuition fee will be proportional to the number of credits taken. In the latter case it is a non-diploma program.

Both alternatives are open to the students who have already gained a BA degree in the fields of humanities, social sciences, political science or other related fields. Since 1996 the core courses of the new master degree program in sociology have been offered within the framework of the "Central European Studies Program (CESP)".
