The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is
one of the traditional strongholds of the academic, research and community outreach
structures at UNAM. It is instrumental to the advancement of the scientific discourse
pertaining to the philosophical, linguistic, spiritual, psychological, and artistic
elements of humanness. In addition to the numerous undergraduate and graduate degrees on
offer, the Faculty also offers three well-designed diploma courses, thus providing
students, including those who do not meet the traditional entry requirements. These are
the diploma courses in Information Studies, Theology and Diploma in Visual Arts.
Sociology is offered as a minor and double major/single major
subject in the BA programme. A student who holds a BA degree with Sociology as a single or
double major and who complies with the University’s regulations for postgraduate
studies is eligible to apply for admission to postgraduate (MA) studies in Sociology.
As part of the Faculty’s postgraduate programmes, the Department of Sociology offers
a Master of Arts (MA) degree by research and thesis to prospective candidates who hold a
Bachelor’s degree with Sociology as a single or double major, or an equivalent
postgraduate diploma from a recognised institution. The candidate’s qualification
should reflect an average of at least 65%. Holders of a Bachelor’s degree or
postgraduate diploma who did not major in Sociology can in special cases apply for
admission to the postgraduate programme in Sociology, but must show evidence of a strong
Sociology component in the curriculum of the qualification(s) they hold. This will be
evaluated by the Department on a case by case basis. The qualification must reflect an
average of at least 70%.
A two-year Master’s programme combining coursework and thesis is currently under
consideration. |
