Sosiologia, yhteiskuntatieteiden maisteri (2 v)
University of Lapland · Rovaniemi, Finland
About the programme
Why has knowledge of the dangers of climate change not led to a phase-out of emissions? Is Finland still a welfare state? How is it possible that waste volumes are growing even as societies are transitioning to a circular economy? What is behind the acceleration of the pace of life? Can global changes be governed? Master's studies in Sociology challenge you to wonder at and understand societal changes.
