Sociology
Labour market inequalities, ethnic and gender diversity, political conflict about culture and identity, and the vicissitudes of the welfare state are just some of the issues that define today’s public debates in the West. If you are interested in these or related issues, then the Sociology programme at KU Leuven is the choice for you.

Social and Cultural Anthropology
Anthropology studies the socializing, meaning-making and world-building practices of humans in different places, networks and settings, around the world. Social and cultural anthropologists study social processes from the perspectives of the actors involved. Anthropologists actively engage and theorize the differences and similarities between people across the globe.

Cultural Studies
Culture is expressed in many different forms – ranging from dance, literature, photography, to material and (im)material heritage – and is transmitted through different media, from live to digital. The Cultural Studies program from KU Leuven combines theoretical reflection and a more hands-on approach via an internship in the cultural sector.
