Bachelor in Licence - Sociologie

At Université Jean Monnet - Saint Etienne, tuition comes to 178 EUR per year.

The Licence - Sociologie (Sociology) at Université Jean Monnet - Saint Etienne (42) in Saint-Étienne, France, develops students' capacity to analyse social structures, institutions, inequalities, and forms of collective life using both theoretical frameworks and empirical methods. Sociological study at this level introduces classical theorists alongside contemporary debates, covering the sociology of work, organisations, education, health, family, culture, and urban life. Students learn quantitative methods — survey design and statistical analysis — as well as qualitative methods including interviews, ethnography, and document analysis. Theoretical modules engage with the foundational perspectives of the discipline and more recent developments in gender studies, social movements, and the sociology of digital life. The combination of methods and theory gives graduates a versatile analytical toolkit applicable across a wide range of professional contexts. The skills developed — systematic observation, data analysis, written reporting, and the ability to situate individual behaviour within social structures — are valuable in human resources, social policy, public health, market research, urban planning, and social work. Many graduates continue to master's programmes in sociology, social work, human resources, or public health. Taught in French over three years in Saint-Étienne, France, this bachelor's degree begins in September. Annual tuition is 178 EUR.
