Study

What do we offer?

A unique Bachelor's and Master's degree program in Slovakia.

This study program is ideal for anyone interested in people's lives in society and the ongoing sociocultural changes. During your studies, you’ll learn to view society and social issues in broader contexts. Together, we’ll explore topics such as the transformation of family life, the consequences of social and gender inequalities, and the various forms of power in society. We’ll also discuss the lasting significance of rituals, the social impacts of changes in labor and new technologies, and how urban and rural life is evolving.

Throughout the program, we’ll teach you how to collect data through interviews, field observations, or surveys—how to analyze it, and how to present your findings. You will become familiar with both qualitative and quantitative research methods and learn how to combine them effectively. That's why part of your studies will include mastering computer-based tools for data analysis (e.g., SPSS Statistics, ATLAS.ti).

Students will gain not only unique knowledge and skills in quantitative and qualitative research, but also acquire a sociological and anthropological perspective at the same time.

What career opportunities will you have?

We offer students a qualification that is highly valued by employers in the private sector—in fields such as public opinion research, marketing, and advertising. However, the knowledge and skills you gain are also well-suited for many roles in the non-profit and public sectors.

Graduates of this study program will be qualified for positions where understanding culture, interpreting social contexts, and working with various types of social data using analytical and critical thinking is essential. Examples of potential career paths include:

  • IT sector: User experience analyst (UX) for new products or applications
