      FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES

      Department of Sociology

      ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

       

      Sociology is the scientific field that systematically and scientifically studies societies and communities. It focuses on how individuals and society affect each other. Sociologists investigate patterns of social inequality and their causes, and propose solutions for social problems.

      The Sociology Department at İzmir University of Economics provides students with both theoretical and research-based education. Over the course of four years, students receive a strong conceptual education through required and elective courses in areas such as sociology theories, social issues, gender studies, environmental issues, agriculture and food production, labor life, development and social change, and culture.

      The department places significant emphasis on research methods education and research applications. In addition to courses on quantitative and qualitative research methods, there are classes where students conduct their own research projects using these methods. Furthermore, our faculty members conduct research in collaboration with various public institutions, private sector organizations, and non-governmental organizations, and students can also participate in these research projects to gain experience in sociological field research.

      Education in our department is conducted entirely in English. All courses are taught in English, and each student also takes a course in a second foreign language. This English education and second foreign language training ensure that our graduates enter the workforce with highly sought-after language skills in the global job market.

      Graduates with a Sociology bachelor’s degree can work in various public institutions, private sector, and non-governmental organizations. Public institutions where they can work include the Ministry of Family and Social Services, Development Agencies, and municipalities. Graduates can also work as teachers after completing their teaching certification. In the private sector, they can work in human resources management, research and consulting firms, international trade, marketing and media organizations. Additionally, non-governmental organizations involved in advocacy across different fields are also among the workplaces for sociology graduates.

      We welcome prospective students who are interested in social issues and want to contribute to solving social problems to our department.

      Head of the Sociology Department
      Prof. Dr. Deniz Yükseker
