Sociology

honours-/excellence program Honours Programme Social Sciences

In the Honours Programme Social Sciences (2 years) the emphasis is on the student's future role as a social scientist in our contemporary knowledge society.

Students from the three schools existing within the Faculty will collaborate in this programme and will become familiar with four different perspectives: an individual, group, societal and normative perspective. These perspectives represent crucial aspects of the various approaches characteristic of social science.

Characteristic features of the programme are (1) the research seminars in which students from the three different schools work together with PhD students on some of the big social scientific questions of our time, (2) the conceptual and normative reflection on the relation between science and society, and (3) the individual research project in which students develop their own approach and end product, either at Radboud or abroad.
