Bachelor in Licence - Sociologie

The Licence - Sociologie at the Université de Rennes 2 in Rennes, France, is a three-year bachelor's degree taught in French with annual tuition of 178 EUR and a September intake. Sociology is the scientific study of social life, social structures, institutions, and the forces that shape collective and individual behaviour. A sociology degree introduces students to the founding theoretical traditions of the discipline—including the works of major figures in French and European sociology—alongside contemporary debates in areas such as social inequality, organisations, culture, religion, family, health, and labour. Coursework covers sociological theory, research methods (both quantitative and qualitative), statistics for social science, and substantive topics such as social stratification, gender, migration, urban sociology, political sociology, and the sociology of education. Field research and survey methods are typically integral to the curriculum, giving students practical experience in data collection and analysis. Graduates of sociology programs work in a range of public and private sector roles including social research, human resources, project management in the social and cultural sectors, community development, public health, urban policy, and communication. Many continue to master's programs in sociology, social research, human resources, or public policy. Université de Rennes 2, which specialises in humanities and social sciences, provides a faculty environment well aligned with sociological inquiry. Annual tuition is 178 EUR.
