Contemporary Societies | Master's programme

How to understand the complex issues of contemporary societies?

As societies become increasingly diverse, change rapidly, and are confronted with expanding inequalities, datafication, and digitalization, there is a growing need for professionals trained and educated in the analysis of these dynamics. In the Master's Programme in Contemporary Societies (COS), you become an expert in the analysis of contemporary societies.

You choose from six discipline-based study tracks: Global Development Studies, Social and Cultural Anthropology, Social and Public Policy, Social Data Science, Social Psychology, or Sociology. You also study themes like Data and Society, Ethnic Relations and Migration, Mind and Society, Socio-Cultural Shifts and Sources of Inequalities.
