International Graduate Study Programme in

Cultural Sociology (single-major)

 

The International Master in Cultural Sociology is a 4 semester (2 year) full time master's programme. Despite the general recognition of the importance of human culture, there exists a lack of experts to analyse and interpret its role in the conditions of the present day economic and social modernisation, taking place on a global scale. The knowledge such experts are expected to apply in their professional practice extends beyond the purely theoretical reflection and includes competences in both quantitative and qualitative empirical research. Equally essential are intercultural understanding, skills of coordination and project management, as well as an ability to work in the multilevel context of the convergent media. The master’s programme in Cultural Sociology is launched in order to provide training to these much-needed experts in social and cultural analysis.

The universities in the consortium are the University of Graz (Austria), Masaryk University in Brno (Czech Republic), University of Trento (Italy) and University of Zadar (Croatia).
