Program Overview

Program Overview

The training in the Sociology major begins in the second year of the Bachelor's (Licence) program and continues through the third year. Students who pursue further studies in the Master's program can then specialize in one of the branches of Sociology. However, before this stage, students spend their first year in the Social Sciences common core. During the second and third years, students receive both theoretical training through the knowledge acquired from various sources (lectures, books, discussions, etc.) and practical training through tutorials and practical assignments within the discipline.

Sociology courses at the University of Jijel are taught in Arabic.
