Taught Programmes
The School of Sociology offers an exciting and vibrant Masters programme in sociology. The courses are taught by some of the leading exponents in the field in Ireland. Students can choose between 3 different types of Masters programmes. A general Masters in Sociology, a Masters in Health and Illness, and a Masters in Migration, Race, and Ethnicity.
Our Higher Diploma provides a foundation in Sociology and Social Research for graduates with good degrees in disciplines other than Sociology. If passed at an appropriate honours level, the Diploma course provides a means of transition into the Masters degree in Sociology for candidates who do not have sociology as part of their primary degree.
