The Department of Philosophy and Sociology is a powerful team of highly qualified theorists and practitioners with experience in research companies, the public sector, educational and research institutions.

We prepare specialists who are able to assess the situation and see the interconnections in all spheres of social life; develop forecasts for the further development of various social processes. Sociology is the tool that helps the government hear the voice of society, and our graduates know how to use it effectively.

The department focuses on developing the professional skills of students. To this end, students are involved in conducting applied sociological research at the Laboratory of Sociological Research of MSU and partners of the department. Great attention is paid to the scientific and social components of training future specialists through their participation in scientific conferences, round tables, workshops, public and volunteer projects that create not only conditions for self-improvement but also expand the circle of useful professional acquaintances.
