The first phase focuses on foundational knowledge and skill development. It provides social theoretical and methodological foundations, while also allowing for a comprehensive examination of global socio-economic, political, and cultural aspects in both developed and developing countries. Moreover, students attend courses pertinent to academic practices to refine their scholarly communication skills. Meanwhile, they engage with their own supervisor and participate in research colloquia to design and initiate their own research.

In the second phase, students transition into individualized research under the guidance of their supervisors. They are encouraged to present their work at conferences, collaborate on publications in esteemed scientific journals, and contribute original research to the field of Sociology. This phase emphasizes the application and further development of the theories and methodologies studied, in real-world contexts, fostering critical thinking and scholarly contribution to the sociological domain.

The programme offers a balanced structure of coursework, research engagement, and real-world applications, educating students into proficient sociologists capable of conducting independent research and contributing meaningfully to the discipline. The programme's multi-faceted approach ensures that graduates are well-prepared for successful careers in academia, business, and governmental and non-governmental institutions requiring sociological expertise.
