Overview

Get two full Master's degrees by studying at two outstanding academic institutions in Europe. You will spend your first year in Trento (Italy) and your second year in Tilburg. Become an expert in political research, social policy, and solving social cohesion-related issues. Focus on political research, social policy, and qualitative research at the University of Trento, and learn to translate societal problems into sociological research in order to evaluate current and create new policies at Tilburg University .

• You will receive small-scale, interactive education and thesis supervision.
• Tailor the program to your own interests to create an individual, unique profile.

At Tilburg University, you can choose one of the three tracks:

• The Sociology: Politics, Policy and Society in Comparative Perspective track focuses on translating societal problems into sociological research from both micro (social class, family) and macro perspectives (welfare state, political systems, cultural climate) to evaluate and design social policy.
• The Health, Wellbeing and Society track combines scientific insights from sociology and health sciences. Through a strong collaboration with healthcare organizations, you will become a specialist in the field of healthcare policy, societal resilience, and health and wellbeing.
• The Politics, Policy and Societal Development track gives you a different perspective on sustainable development based on theories and methods pertinent to the Global Management of Social Issues discipline. This specialization addresses societal issues and sustainable development from a sociological perspective.
