PhD programme linked to this Master’s programme: Social, Labour and Human Resources Sciences
Academic, scientific or professional interest: This master’s programme aims to fill a gap in a field with little tradition in Spain but of growing interest in the European and international context: that of sociology and anthropology in relation to public policy. The programme offers advanced education on the most recent and emerging social issues, such as inequality, cultural diversity, protection of rights or environmental sustainability. It is targeted at students from various social science disciplines, and at professionals from the public administration and the third sector, to provide them with specialised studies in the diagnosis of social conflicts, and in the design, implementation and evaluation of public policies.
