Sociology and Social Anthropology
The Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology accommodates a plurality of theoretical and methodological perspectives by integrating the two disciplines. In a wide range of courses on social theory, migration, globalization, institutional change, urban processes and development, students are encouraged to articulate their own position with regards to bridging the two disciplines in the topics they study. One of the main endeavors of the program is to develop research skills of students by offering a solid training in research methodology.
In addition to CEU’s resources, the department draws on an international network of scholars who, in various capacities, provide students with the opportunity to broaden their intellectual horizons.
