The Department of Sociology of the University of Crete organizes, since the Academic year 2018-19, a Program of Postgraduate Study (PPS) titled “Sociology: Theory, Culture, Social Change” (4485/2017).
Dear all,
The Department of Sociology has determined that, after a successful trajectory, the Master’s Program in Sociology has fulfilled the goals set at its establishment and has therefore decided not to proceed with its accreditation. The Department will reassess its prospects and objectives and will move forward with the design of a new Master’s Program. As a result, the current Master’s Program in Sociology, in its present form, will conclude by September 2025.
For you, as students of this program, this means that you must complete all pending requirements (courses, theses) by the aforementioned date.
We kindly ask you to contact the Secretariat of the Postgraduate Program as well as your thesis supervisors so that you can complete your studies on time and receive your Master’s degree.
We wish you all the best and every success.
The subject of P.M.S. “Sociology: Theory, Culture, Social Change” is the sociological theory and the sociological theoretical and research approaches of the fields of culture and social transformations.
The general purpose of P.M.S. is to contribute to the promotion of knowledge and the development of research in the scientific field of Sociology.
