Das Masterstudium Soziologie vermittelt vertiefende, an die wissenschaftliche Forschung heranführende Kenntnisse. Das Studium baut auf einem fachlichen bzw. fachnahen Bachelorstudium auf und umfasst vier Semester bzw. 120 ECTS.

Im Folgenden sind zunächst die Lehrveranstaltungen des neuen Bachelor- und Masterstudiums angeführt, im Anschluss finden sich die Lehrangebote

Bei der Bezeichnung Seminarraum 1, 2 und 3 handelt es sich um die Seminarräume am Institut für Soziologie, Rooseveltplatz 2, 1. Stock. HS bezeichnet die allgemeinen Hörsäle der Universität im Universitätshauptgebäude oder NIG.
