DEPARTMENT MISSION, VISION AND VALUES

Sociology is rapidly increasing its importance as a science that strives to understand and interpret the changes-transformations that occur in the structures of societies, especially after important social turning points such as the industrialization process and digitalization. In our country, as in the whole world, sociology appears as a science that is greatly needed in many fields, especially in the process of objectively analyzing the dynamics of social structure.

Within this framework, it is clear that in Turkey there is a greater need for sociologists with adequate education in their field and subject matter to understand, analyze, evaluate and interpret the social structure, which depends on the dynamics of society, both locally and globally. Sociologists are employed in many public institutions and organizations, and sociologists are now more needed in the private sector and non-governmental organizations. In this context, the contribution of well-trained sociologists in sociology departments that provide qualified education and training to both our country and our society is obvious.

From this point of view, the main purpose of the Department of Sociology at Başkent University Faculty of Arts and Sciences is to train sociologists who have the sociological perspective that our country needs, who can analyze social structure, who are experts in their fields, who have gained experience in qualitative and quantitative research, who are sensitive to social and cultural reality, who have theoretical and methodological scientific equipment, who can conduct research on the socio-economic situation of Turkey, and who have a command of international literature.

Students of our department can participate in Double Major and Minor programs in fields related to sociology such as Psychology and Political Science, and thanks to the Erasmus + program, they can complete part of their education in schools abroad with which we have an agreement.

Graduates of the Department of Sociology can be employed as sociologists, experts, assistant experts, data analysts, researchers, evaluators, coordinators, consultants and managers in a wide variety of organizations and fields.
