In September 2000, the Department of Sociology of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven starts with Managing and Monitoring Societal Development. Master Programme in the Sociology of Social Change in European Societies. This programme is an English taught, advanced academic training programme in sociology. It focuses on analysing and understanding (monitoring) the actual transitions which present themselves in modern societies and on the consequences of it for policy making in the major institutional areas (managing). The programme is a post-graduate degree course that may be completed as a full time option over one year or as a part-time option over two years. The active cooperation of the Sociology Department of the K.U.Leuven in wider university networks guarantees the comparative and international perspective of this programme.
