Ibn Haldun University Department of Sociology MA Program aims to build a basis for a new understanding and research ground for analyzing and providing solutions to people and society in the world and our country. With this infrastructure, the Sociology Doctorate Program aims to train academic staff who can work more deeply on these issues and produce alternative analyses and solution suggestions with the perspective of open civilization, intellectual independence, and rooted revivalism. Fed by different methodological and theoretical approaches, the Sociology Doctorate Program places great emphasis on the ability of academic staff to reflect original theories and methods in academic publications and research.
As a requirement of Ibn Haldun University's notion of being a research university, the Sociology Doctorate Program claims to create a ground for the training of internationally competent sociologists and researchers. Furthermore, in line with our university's vision and multilingualism policy, this program will make it possible to develop an academic perspective beyond the dominant sociological traditions, able to produce alternative research and offer solutions in our country and worldwide.
Thanks to its linguistic qualifications and following the internationalization quality, Ibn Haldun University's Sociology Doctorate Program prioritizes conducting research and developing solutions that address various social issues in societies in different geographies, both nationally and internationally. In this context, our program aims to identify the relevant institutions in the light of academic data, determine bilateral and multiple relations, and present alternative scientific data about these processes while developing the country's relations with different geographies and opening up to foreign countries with an interdisciplinary approach.
