Overview
The Social Sciences (SOSCI) programme from Charles University is focused on current transdisciplinary issues such as complexity management, governance, mediatisation of social relations or interdependence of society, technology and the natural environment. Secondly, social research methodology is stressed as a prerequisite for the development of students' analytical skills and for finding practical solutions to complex issues. Both analytical and interpretative approaches are employed. The attention is particularly paid to the preparation of the bachelor's thesis as a way to develop soft skills and to conduct project-oriented research.
Key facts:
To complete the programme, the students must (i) collect 180 ECTS credits, (ii) pass the state exam, and (iii) defend their bachelor’s thesis. The available courses consist of mandatory courses, elective and optional courses. The mandatory and elective courses are taught at the Faculty of Social Sciences, the optional (off-field elective) courses can be taken at any department of Charles University (including the Czech language classes).
