<\/i>Programme content<\/a><\/h3>
<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]In response to a structural condition of accelerated change, current sociology studies offer the most suitable approaches,<\/strong>models and methods to diagnose and analyse <\/strong>ongoing social transformations in all their complexity. Sociology studies are able to identify and assess the options for change applicable to individual cases, to conceive and evaluate intervention strategies and possible future societies.<\/p>\n

Using a sociological approach, the master’s degree focuses on social transformation and innovation processes<\/strong>. These are located on different scales, from global (multiple modernities and globalization processes) to local issues (urban transformations, changes in life conditions or in intergenerational or gender relations) and also include changes in different sectors (culture, education and economics), as well as in public and private networks, institutions and organizations.<\/p>\n

To fully understand these processes, students approach fundamental issues of contemporary societies <\/strong>(migrations, security, social inclusion and exclusion, conflict resolution, sustainable development, etc.). In all these fields, the analysis of change serves to unravel the key elements and to consolidate the competences that allow a positive impact on change, either by drawing desirable social futures, or by designing strategies for overcoming problems and fostering creativity and innovation.<\/p>\n

The master’s degree is intended to put the sociological tool kit in use, so that students are provided with a comprehensive perspective on current social change and the strategic challenges <\/strong>it poses, while acquiring cross-disciplinary training for the scientific analysis of social transformation and innovation processes, and the skills required to design and evaluate intervention models.<\/p>\n

The MSc in Sociology is taught exclusively face-to-face. The programme consists of 90 ECTS credits, divided into compulsory subjects (25 ECTS) and optional subjects (40 ECTS credits), as well as professional placements and the master’s degree final project (TFM). Full-time students can complete it in three semesters and part-time students in four semesters (two academic years).<\/p>\n
