A Guide to Sociology Degrees Abroad
Why Earn a Sociology Degree Abroad
Sociology degrees are continuously growing in popularity around the world, as cross-cultural interaction becomes a definitive aspect of our modern age. It is easy to stay at home and learn about social forces in abstract ways at a local (familiar) college or university; however, challenging yourself by earning your sociology degree abroad will provide you with much deeper insight than you could ever gain by remaining in your comfort zone. There are very few things that can bring you to the heart of social matter like living and earning your degree abroad.
Locations
Sociology is a global discipline and is therefore offered by most universities. Yet, while you can choose to pursue a degree in sociology pretty much anywhere in the world, there are a few important factors to keep in mind when deciding on a location.
First, you should consider the vast differences between earning a sociology degree in the developing versus the developed world. This can be an interesting catch-22 when studying a subject like sociology. If you are interested in the subject matter for its own sake and want to embark on an enlightening sociological journey, then studying in developing regions, such as Africa, Central America, and Southeast Asia, can prove to be truly groundbreaking.
At the same time, however, many of the most highly regarded universities in the world are located in industrialized countries, such as the United States, England, and Australia (which all share quite similar cultures, relatively). The tradeoff then becomes, deciding between studying at an incredibly well-known institution within a common cultural paradigm, versus studying at a less prestigious school amidst an entirely different cultural and socio-economic backdrop, which is not an easy choice for students interested in sociology.
Possible language barriers are yet another thing to keep in mind when choosing where to earn your sociology degree abroad. Depending on the language of instruction as well as your language skills, you may or may not be able to enroll in sociology degree programs at a local university. English-taught sociology degree programs do exist around the world at international schools and partner academic institutions, but bear in mind that most domestic universities will utilize the native tongue as the medium of education.
Sociology Degrees Abroad
Sociology is a comprehensive discipline that is inclusive of many different subfields and applications. No one knows better than you which degree path is most intriguing within this broad academic field for you, so explore the different sociology courses offered before deciding where to earn your sociology degree abroad.
The most popular specializations and courses available abroad include social research, evolutionary sociology, political sociology, and feminist sociology. However, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of sociology subfields, so you will likely have your hands full of available courses if you decide to earn your sociology degree at a local university. Some of the more unique sociology degree programs abroad include digital sociology, sociology of development, and intercultural competence.
Generally, you will not have to choose a specialization when pursuing an undergraduate degree in sociology, but you may have to write a senior thesis depending on the academic expectations of your host country or the structure of your host university. For postgraduate, masters, degrees in sociology you will usually be expected to pursue a much narrower focus within the field, and will often be expected to complete field research as well.
Since sociology is a very broad field, it is not a bad idea to pair your sociology degree abroad with an internship placement or some type of work experience. Many sociology students who decide not to continue with academia go on to fill a variety of professional roles, spanning everything from social work to public administration to market research. Supplementing your sociology studies with some sort of early career trajectory will help you immensely after graduation.
Benefits
Its Own Education. Traveling and living abroad in another country will be enough of an education on its own; but, pair this with a full load of sociology courses and you will gain a much deeper, broader appreciation for the field.
The Road Less Traveled. While many students choose to study abroad at some point in their college career, few are bold enough to earn their full degree abroad. While surely a big commitment, the decision to earn your sociology degree abroad will pay off tremendously as both an opportunity for personal growth and as a learning experience.
An Open Map. Sociology degrees abroad present students with the rare opportunity to literally point somewhere on a map and make a move to live there for a few years. If you have the will to make it happen, then earning a sociology degree abroad might just be the greatest adventure of your life.

Come to Rome to have te best time in your life!
December 06, 2023by: Nicole Carnabuci - ItalyMy time in Rome was not just a visit; it was an immersion into a living testament of human achievement and endurance. The city's timeless allure left me enriched, and I carry the echoes of its beauty, history, and vibrancy with me. Spread the word: Rome is not just a destination; it's an odyssey of the senses, an experience that transcends travel and becomes a cherished chapter in the book of life.
I love Rome
April 24, 2023by: Rachel Poston - United StatesI have had an amazing time in Rome and enjoyed all the culture and food. John Cabot has given me the chance to make connections from all over the world and still feel like I'm at home. I have loved my marketing classes where I compare Italian and american ads.
The American life in Rome
April 24, 2023by: Julissa Castro - HondurasAs a transfer from a U.S. university I had a smooth transition as all my credits were transferred and I was already used to the US system. They offered a wide range of classes to pick from and the clubs and extracurricular enriched my career.
Loved it
April 24, 2023by: Juan Gamboa - ColombiaThe opportunities, the experience and memories made at this university is something not many have the privilege to have in their lives. Beginning with the city, the culture, people and food it makes you feel at home. Not only the safe atmosphere, the professors and students develop a sense of family that I do not think I can find anywhere else.

I had the time of my life!

Best experience you can have in university!
April 20, 2023by: Laela Allen - United StatesI love this school and I am very thankful that I have the opportunity to be here. It is in a cool location and the professors are also great. I also think that Trastevere is the best place to be in Rome because there is so much to see and do.
The best college choice
April 20, 2023by: Erin Doyle - United StatesJCU has been an an amazing experience for me so far! I love going to school here and am proud to be a member of the community. I came to JCU right out of high school and moving to a new country at 18 can be intimidating, but the school does a great job of helping new students.

A journey to comfort and warmth
February 07, 2023by: Emmanuel Junior Nweke - NigeriaLike the rising of the sun, slowly brings warmth to a cold day, that's how I can describe my experience at AUB. The people of Lebanon sometimes say they can be rude, but what I found out is the issue of trust, the people are rich in hospitality and once they trust you, they make you feel at home, and give you comfort and warmth. At the end, everyone would miss their time at AUB.
I loved it!
December 07, 2022by: Giorgia Cinaglia - ItalyI loved it here in Rome, I'm a sophomore and I fell in love with JCU! I would definitely do it again. The professors were amazing and the people were so welcoming. I didn't have problems making friends and I will never forget them. Rome is the best city to stay for Uni! I fell in love
Cultural and academic experience
April 28, 2022by: Nicholas Modlin - United StatesI spent two years living in Rome, learning about the city, and experiencing it (largely with a running group) and loved it immensely! John Cabot University was fantastic in facilitating this experience and offering new opportunities. Through the university, I was introduced to community members who I could explore the area with and live the most interesting parts of Rome. Of course, this is in addition to a well-experienced and professional faculty. I went through the business program at John Cabot and learned everything and more than what I was hoping from a selection of professionals with experience in international law, startups, and large corporations. The university is very well connected and utilizes their resources to create a worthwhile experience.
Living in Rome!
April 27, 2022by: Natalia Medero - MexicoMy experience in John Cabot University has been fully enriching. I’ve met the brightest art history professors that had inspired me and reinforced my passion for my major. Equally important, I’ve gained independence skills while living abroad and have met a nice friend group from my home country and others.
Don’t think twice, just go for it!
January 26, 2022by: Mary Curran - United StatesI was planning to finish my degree at UCLA when I learned about the Italian Studies program at JCU. After doing some research and contacting alumni, I decided that JCU would be a better fit for my future goals. I am in my second semester and can’t speak highly enough about the program. The faculty and staff have exceeded my expectations and I continue to be impressed at what this university has to offer. If you’re debating on where you should go to finish your degree, search no more. The experience you will have during your time in Rome is unparalleled. You will not only receive an exceptional education, you will have life changing experiences in the Eternal City.
Knowledge and diversity in Europe
June 04, 2020by: Mekki Lahlou - MoroccoProgram: Study Abroad at Saint Louis University-Madrid Campus
Getting an American degree from one of the top 100’s universities in US while you are living the European diversity is only available in Saint Louis University Madrid Campus. Since the factuality ratio is less than 16, you have the chance to have enough office hours with teachers and tutors until you master your lessons. Plus, the student life in Madrid is really exceptional because Spanish people are wonderful and they welcome all kinds of people.
Amazing time in Madrid!
June 03, 2020by: Andres Portela - SpainProgram: Study Abroad at Saint Louis University-Madrid Campus
It was a a fantastic time were I met new people from all over the world! Learned new experiences and could grow as a person. I would recommend this experience to absolutely anyone out there who wants a change in their life and wants to be adventurous!
Great life changing experience
June 03, 2020by: Maycie Rosado - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad at Saint Louis University-Madrid Campus
Attending a university in central Madrid is life changing and has many benefits, but attending an US accredited university abroad such as Saint Louis University-Madrid Campus is even better! On and off campus, everyday I experience a multicultural environment. Students are from around the world and my professors are as well. Having this diversity brings many great conversations to the table and allows all of us to learn from each other and make a connection. I have met so many people in my major that have given me a different outlook on things because of our diversity and interest to learn from each other. The campus staff are welcoming and helpful and the facilities are accommodating. I would recommend attending or studying abroad at this university because Saint Louis University-Madrid Campus has so much to offer.
Amazing option for college!
July 03, 2019by: Katelin Huber - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad at Saint Louis University-Madrid Campus
Overall the school is quite good. The business professors are professionals with years of experience, and the course work is challenging. They offer many opportunities to get hands on experience in the business field outside of the classroom. Campus lacks in club presence, but it is not your traditional campus. If you're looking to learn Spanish, go outside your comfort zone, and be fully immersed in a new culture, then I highly recommend this school! One of the best decisions of my life was moving to Madrid and studying here.
