Bachelor in Licence - Sociologie

For Bachelor in Licence - Sociologie, tuition is 206 USD per year.

The Licence - Sociologie (Bachelor of Sociology) at Université Paris Cité in Paris, France, trains students to apply conceptual and methodological tools from sociology to the analysis of social structures, inequalities, institutions, identities, cultural practices, and collective action in contemporary and historical settings. Over 3 years conducted entirely in French, students engage with both classical theory — Durkheim, Weber, Bourdieu, and others — and contemporary empirical research, developing the ability to place specific social phenomena within larger analytical frameworks. Methodological training is central to the curriculum, spanning quantitative tools such as survey design, sampling, and statistical analysis alongside qualitative methods including in-depth interviewing, ethnographic fieldwork, and analysis of documents and discourse. The programme begins each September and annual tuition is 178 EUR. Graduates are prepared for employment in social research institutes, public administration and policy agencies, NGOs, human resources departments, urban and community planning services, journalism, social work, and cultural organisations. Many continue to master's programmes in sociology, political science, social work, or public policy, where the combined theoretical and methodological foundation of the bachelor's degree proves directly applicable. Paris places students in proximity to the national statistical office INSEE, major research laboratories, policy think tanks, and the dense associative and civic sector through which much practical sociological observation and intervention takes place.
