Programme overview
Programme structure
The competition for admission to the state-funded PhD studies in sociology is held once a year.
To be eligible for the open competition for admission to the PhD studies, you must have a Master’s degree or a diploma certifying an equivalent qualification.
Before submitting your application, it is recommended that you review information about the research areas and the proposed PhD topics and supervisors of the LCSS Institute of Sociology before applying for the PhD in sociology.
