The curriculum focuses on major social processes taking place in the contemporary European countries and offers opportunities for students to develop their skills of carrying out the sociological research of these processes including the data collection, analysis and interpretation.

The lectures and seminars examine processes and phenomena of international migration, nationalism, and social inequalities in terms of societal integration and the main threats of the civil society building in Central Europe.
