Sociology of Culture

The second cycle Master's degree programme in Sociology of Culture is designed to provide a broad social-humanistic and theoretically-focused study of culture, based on a deepening of a chosen area of gender studies, media and cultural studies, religious studies or globalisation studies.

In both cases, students graduate with skills that equip them to independently lead, organise, analyse and research contemporary cultural and social phenomena. The employment opportunities, which involve either leaving the programme or continuing on to a third level, are linked in the programme to the acquisition of further theoretical, methodological and epistemological foundations or concrete skills in the practical application of knowledge and analytical approaches.

The programme places particular emphasis on interdisciplinarity in research and on developing practical applications of cultural analysis for the needs of a wide range of cultural organisations, institutions, media and publishing houses, consultancies and agencies, public institutions, and non-governmental organizations. Upon completion of their studies, students can work independently as publicists, cultural animators, festival and other cultural event organisers; to join national, European and wider international institutions, advisory bodies and services that require independence and sovereignty in the management and organisation of their work.
