Students enrolled on the Bachelor in Sociology and Anthropology programme are working towards becoming professionals capable of robustly analysing societies and cultures, understanding local and global contemporary changes and issues and becoming actively engaged. The students are readying themselves for the Master in Sociology or Anthropology programme (or a different programme) to complete this objective.

The graduates will also have developed the ability to analyse globalisation issues.
In addition, on successful completion of a Bachelor’s course in the Faculty of Economic, Social and Political Sciences and Communication (ESPO), graduates will have developed:

In addition, on successful completion of a Bachelor’s course in the Faculty of Economic, Social and Political Sciences and Communication (ESPO), graduates will have developed:
- a multidisciplinary approach enabling them to question, in a substantiated and precise manner, a phenomenon or issue related to the field of human sciences;
- an academic approach based on scientific research and a robust and critical methodology;
- their communication skills in French and two other languages;
- a way of thinking that is respectful of ethical and civic values.
During the three-year Bachelor course, students will have demonstrated growing independence. They will have developed their training projects and, on completion of the Bachelor programme, will continue their training in a specific Master’s course, with a view to building their personal and professional projects.
