Have you ever wondered how diversity, solidarity and inequality are connected? Or how to counter radicalisation? How segregation in social networks arises? How organisational processes influence inequality? This programme is the one for you!

Something for you?

• During this Master's programme, you will study topics such as inequality, cohesion and cultural diversity from a comparative societal perspective.
• Dialogue and discussion are central in the many small-group teaching sessions led by inspiring lecturers of the Master’s programme.
• In this Master's programme, you have the opportunity to collaborate with the best scholars of the research institute Radboud Social and Cultural Research.
• A large majority of our graduates start PhD- and other research positions; almost all of our graduates found work shortly after graduating.

What will you learn:

This Master's programme teaches you how to perform high-quality cross-cultural comparative research. You'll learn how to translate social problems into empirical research questions and you will be trained in applying diverse theoretical approaches, research designs, data-collections and analyses to get the best possible answer.

What's distinctive about the approach of this programme, is that we synthesise theories and methods of different disciplines, like sociology, anthropology, development studies, political science and communication science.
