SOCIOLOGY

The Department of Sociology aims for its graduates who have the sociological imagination to acquire vocational competence by analyzing the meanings and processes of the phenomena of the global world objectively based on the principles of cultural relativity and sustainability; proposing solutions to problems by developing skills on designing research and projects via the use of information-communication technologies and cultivating social communicative skills.  

Having graduated from our Sociology Department Undergraduate Programme with the title of “Sociologist”, our students are able to work at diverse positions at both private and governmental institutions.  They can pursue academic careers or work at secondary schools as teachers upon completion of pedagogical formations. Our graduates can work at both public institutions such as National State Planning Organization, Turkish Statistical Institute, penitentiaries and detention houses; and international institutions such as UNDP, WB, UNESCO, UNICEF, ILO as sociologists, experts, trainers, coordinators, planners or teachers.
