When you apply to a Master’s program in Sociology, universities will usually expect you to have an academic degree in a related discipline, that means in Sociology or related social sciences, such as Economics or Political Science. Other (interdisciplinary) programs accept students with backgrounds in various disciplines, such as Law, History, Philosophy, Ethnology, or Cultural Studies. Usually, application tests or interviews are not part of the admission process, students must simply submit required documents. In addition to standard certificates (e.g. first degree certificate, a transcript of records, a language certificate), a CV and a letter of motivation are typically required. Extra documents, such as practical experiences, written samples of your work or a background in research methods are sometimes prerequisites.
