Study programmes

The Master Programme Sociology of Contemporary Societies offers up-to-date expertise, develops the methodological and analytical skills of students, and enables them to explore and understand the social processes taking place in the contemporary world: their roots, meanings and contexts, including trends or potentialities of future development. The curriculum is oriented to sociological and social anthropological theory and methodology. In addition to introducing the general theoretical and methodological questions of quantitative and qualitative research, it provides space for reflection on alternatives to the organization of contemporary societies, the vertical and horizontal mobility within them, and the lifestyles recorded. The study is designed in such a way that the acquired knowledge is well applicable either in the Czech Republic or abroad. Students can choose one of four specializations: 1. Civil Society and Politics; 2. Anthropology of Space and Mobility; 3. Identities, Health and Bodies; 4. Double Degree in Sociology of Contemporary Societies. In these specializations, they acquire a broad and deep knowledge and understanding of theories, concepts and methods corresponding to the current state of knowledge. Their skills enable them independently solve professional tasks and to work on research projects.
