The degree in Sociology lasts for three years (180 ECTS), with a solid training at the theoretical, methodological and courses specific to Sociology and offering the possibility of deepening specialised themes, through a wide range of optional courses.
The study plan includes multidisciplinarity, by opening to courses from other social sciences and from different disciplinary areas offered in other undergraduate programmes at the Iscte-University Institute of Lisbon.
In the framework of the plan, in addition to what has been mentioned, the following aspects stand out:
- In the second semester of the second year of the degree, it is possible to know other Social Sciences related with Sociology;
- In the third year of the degree there is the possibility of choosing between the branches of Sociology and Public Policy;
- Also in the third year, in the field of Sociology, students get in contact with several domains of sociology, with three mandatory specialised sociologies in each semester;
- In the last semester of the degree, an internship in Sociology is offered as an optional course, allowing direct contact with the labour market.
Some courses are taught both in Portuguese and in English, at different schedules. The option for a course in English represents an added value for the CV, in addition of enabling a deeper knowledge of the language.

Culture and Society
This curricular unit provides students with their first contact with sociological science and its central concepts and themes. The main learning outcomes are to provide the following: a) To know the central concepts of sociological analysis and the main theoretical perspectives of its approach: culture, socialization, social interaction, social deviation, social control, structure and action. b) To develop the ability to relate the concepts studied with empirical research; c) To build critical sociological reflection, developing sociological imagination (C.W. Mills) in the study of social reality; d) To contribute to the development of general skills, such as: studying and researching individually, team working, interpreting texts and relating theory to empirical reality.
Program1. Culture and Society: an introduction to sociology
1.1. Previous questions and obstacles to sociological knowledge
1.2. Possible definitions of sociology. What is sociology and what does it do?
1.3. The historical conditions of the emergence of sociology.
2. Culture and Society: central themes and concepts
2.1. The sociological concept of culture
2.2. Socialization processes: cultural transmission and social structuring of the individual
2.3. Social interaction
2.4. Deviance and social control
2.5. Ways of structuring societies: groups and organizations
2.6. The centrality of the concepts of structure and action in sociology.
Assessment throughout the semester requires attendance of at least 2/3 of classes and consists of the following: a) Participation in classes (20%); b) An analytical form, carried out in class, on text to be provided in advance by the teacher (30%); c) A written exercise (test) carried out on the date of the first exam period (50%). Alternatively, or in case of failure in the assessment throughout the semester, a final exam covering all subjects in the syllabus. The 1st season exam is intended for students who did not choose to be assessed during the semester. Students who choose to take the assessment throughout the semester and who have not passed it (failed or withdrew), can only seek approval in the 2nd exam period, also known as the appeal period.
Participation in classes consists of the involvement of students in carrying out practical exercises as a team, as well as in their oral interventions required by the presentations of these exercises and in their interaction with the teacher. The reading sheet on text(s) selected by the teaching team will reflect the students' ability to distinguish what the text's problematics are, its main concepts, its main propositions. The final written exercise aims for students to be able to articulate the themes and concepts of the program, and the theoretical diversity of its approach, in an adequate, comprehensive, and developed way.

Students are expected to:
LO1. Know and understand the ways of constructing scientific knowledge, as well as its strategies and methodologies.
LO2. Know and understand the specificities of social sciences, and particularly sociology, in their own ways of knowing social reality.
LO3. Understand in a generic and introductory way the main methodological strategies and technical instruments of sociology.
LO4. Know research on the most varied aspects of social reality, reflecting on concrete ways of using scientific methodology and the respective results.

01. Preliminary definition of the object of sociology
02. Social determination of common sense
03. Science and epistemological rupture
04. Epistemological obstacles
05. Structure and action
06. Social problems and sociological problems
07. Specificity of sociology
II. Sociological method
08. Object of research
09. Strategies of knowledge
10. Methodological perspectives
11. Research stages
12. Methods and techniques
Students can achieve a pass in the Normal Assessment Season (aka 1st Season) in one of two ways: Continuous Assessment or Final Exam.
The option of final assessment by written exam (1st season) implies that students notify their teacher and that they do not take any assessment during the school term. If the student has taken any assessment during the term, regardless of the grade (positive or negative), he or she is considered to be in the process of continuous assessment in the first term.
Students who opt for a final exam may attend and participate in classes.
Continuous assessment involves the following types of work and their respective weightings in the final classification:
1. Attendance (5%): each student must attend at least 16 classes.
2. Participation (5%):
a. Individual presentation (optional).
b. Intervention in class (optional).
3. Group work and class presentation (30%) - compulsory.
4. Compulsory exercise in class 1 (25%).
5. Compulsory exercise in class 2 (35%).
Failure to complete any compulsory assessment element will immediately result in failure in continuous assessment and in the 1st Season.
Students are strongly advised to opt for continuous assessment.
The 1st season final exam, without consultation, covers the entire syllabus of the course and will have a degree of difficulty equivalent to the entire continuous assessment process.
In the event of failure in the 1st season, there is still the possibility of taking the exam in the Appeal Season (aka 2nd Season).
Likewise, students who are legally entitled to do so can also take part in the Special Assessment Period.
Students should consult the Assessment Instructions document provided by the teaching team.

Periodic assessment, consisting of the following elements:
1. group work (50%)
4 oral presentations on each of the authors based on the main bibliography,
2. A written test based on the texts in the main bibliography (50%).
The test will be taken on the first day of the final exam, on a date to be decided by the Year Council.
Failure to complete any of the elements of the periodic assessment will immediately result in failure in the periodic assessment and assessment by final exam in the normal season/1st assessment period.
Final assessment
Failure to fulfil one of the elements of the periodic assessment, or failure in this assessment, sends the student to a final examination (appeal period/2nd period) on the whole subject. The final exam is taken without consulting texts.

Extensive Research Methods
At the end of the CU, students should be able to:
LO1. Define the main concepts associated with empirical research processes (object of study, theory, concepts, method, technique, hypotheses, indicators, universe, sample, etc.);
LO2. Identify the stages of an empirical research process
LO3. Design a research project using a questionnaire survey
LO4. Construct sampling plans
LO5. Create instruments for collecting information (questionnaire survey)
LO6. Analyse, interpret and present statistical data resulting from a questionnaire survey.
PC1. Research, methods and operationalization of conceptual units
1. Sociological and socio-political research: extensive methods
2. Framework for analysis and operationalisation of concepts
PC2. Delimiting the empirical field: population and sample definition
1. Statistical representativity
2. Main sampling techniques
PC3. Survey questionnaire
1. Construction of the questionnaire
2. Application of the survey
3. Online surveys
4. Planning data processing
PC4. Analysing survey data
1. Analysing the results
2. Presenting the results
Students can choose one of the two assessment methods provided for in the CU: 1) assessment throughout the semester; 2) assessment by exam.
- Assessment throughout the semester consists of: written group work (in two reports, a progress report and a final report) and an individual written test. The final grade is the result of a weighted average of the three assessment moments: group progress report (20%); final group report (40%); and individual written test (40%), provided it is equal to or higher than 7 points. Students who do not obtain a minimum mark of 7 in the test will fail the CU and will be admitted to assessment by exam. Assessment throughout the semester requires students to attend at least 50% of the classes. If the teachers deem it necessary, there is the possibility of an oral test, in complement to the written assessment components, as an additional element in the assessment (e.g. in situations where there is a need for additional clarification in the classifications).
- Assessment by exam takes place exclusively during the assessment period and covers all the material taught in the curricular unit. It consists of an individual written test. Students who have opted for this form of assessment and students who have not been approved in the assessment throughout the semester are admitted to this form of assessment.

b) Knowledge of the main concepts and theories in this domain;
c) Competence in the analytical operationalization of those concepts, specially in social characterization using social indicators;
d) Knowledge of concrete aspects of contemporary societies (portuguese, european, global), analized with the theoretical and operative instruments of the sociology of social classes and stratification;
e) Capacity of studying and personal research, team work, interpreting texts and data, relating theory and empirical information, comunicating information and analysis, both written and oral.

(b) the acquisition of basic skills in the use of key concepts and analytical statements of those theories;
(c) the acquisition of basic skills of discussion and comparison of those concepts and statements.
Controversies and schools of thougt in contemporary sociological theory

Contemporary systemic prospects. The neofunctionalist theory of social differentiation. The social network analysis.
II Contemporary interactionist theory
Contemporary interactionist prospects. The theory of interaction rituals. Symbolic order and interaction: contributions of ethnomethodology.
III Contemporary theories of rational action
Reason, exchange and choice. General principles of exchange theory. Theories of rational choice and norms. Methodological individualism. The analytical sociology.
IV Action-structure integration in contemporary sociological theory
Modes of action-structure integration. Internalization of structure. Internalization and the dispositional plurality. Duality of structure. Dualism of action and structure. Integration in modernity.
Dilemmas and challenges of diversity in sociological theory
Assessment during the academic period consists of three individual tests carried out in class, with equal weighting: the first on contemporary systemic and interactionist theories (parts I and II of the programme), the second on theories of rational action (part III) and the third on theories of action-structure articulation (part IV). The tests take place after the lectures on the parts of the programme being assessed have been completed. The final mark is the simple average of the marks for the three tests.
Alternatively, or in the event of failure in the assessment during the teaching period, the student takes a two-hour final exam, corresponding to the same level of knowledge and skills in question in the assessment during the teaching period.
