Department of Sociology

I'm Gözde Şahinbaş. I am a 4th year student at Anadolu University, Department of Sociology. Our department is located in the Faculty of Humanities on the Yunus Emre Campus. Our department aims to train qualified sociologists with its well-equipped academic staff. In our department, courses such as Introduction to Sociology, Sociology of Migration, Sociology of Food and Nutrition, and Social Stratification are given. In addition, we carry out field studies within the scope of the Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods course. There is no compulsory internship program in our department, however, we can optionally do internships in all institutions and organizations in the fields related to our department. In addition, we have a Sociology Practices course as a graduation project. We get this in the 4th grade. Within the scope of this course, we prepare and submit an undergraduate thesis. When we graduate from our department, we have the opportunity to work in the public and private sectors as a sociologist. At the same time, we have the opportunity to work in these fields by taking the formation training such as family counseling and philosophy group teaching. One of the most important reasons why I chose my department was to understand the world I live in. I realized that the field where I can learn this best is sociology. The reason why I chose Anadolu University Sociology Department was that its academic staff was very qualified and diverse. At the same time, there is a chance to benefit from the Erasmus exchange program. That's why I chose this place. After graduation, I plan to specialize on family counseling and couple therapy. After receiving this formal training, I plan to open my own clinic. At the same time, our school provides the following opportunity: If we take the Philosophy, Psychology and Logic coded courses within the regulations while completing the credits of our own program, we would have formation training for philosophy group teaching. That's why, when we complete these courses, we can teach philosophy without an extra formation training. My advice to candidates who will prefer our department is to read a lot, because sociology is really a discipline that you must read in order to develop yourself. At the same time, it is very important to go beyond the resources provided by our professors. I can give the following advice to candidates who will prefer Anadolu University. This is a very beautiful university with a big campus. That's why you can join club activities to have a fun time here. If you would like to take advantage of these opportunities, we welcome you to Anadolu University. Good luck to all those who will take the exam.
