InfoMàster: Sociology: Social Transformations and Innovation

The Master's in Sociology: Social Transformations and Innovation aims to train leaders in the study of social change and the creation of social technologies, capable of proposing new solutions to collective challenges and improving institutions and societies.

The Master's in Sociology: Social Transformations and Innovation consists of 90 credits, which are structured over three semesters (one and a half years). Students must complete 45 compulsory credits (including the Master's thesis worth 20 credits) and 45 elective credits.

During the first two semesters, students are required to complete 25 compulsory credits distributed across five subjects and 40 elective credits.

In the third semester, students must choose between the Professional Practice course or the Advanced Seminar (with a minimum of 5 students for it to be taught), both worth 5 credits, in addition to the Master's Thesis (TFM worth 20 credits).

Classes are held Monday to Friday afternoons, from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This schedule applies to the first two semesters and is much more flexible for the third semester.
