Mobility
The study of sociology requires adopting different and unfamiliar perspectives on the everyday facts connected to social order. Spending time at a foreign university and participating in discussions taking place in a different context helps promote this “broadening of the mind,” which is so important for sociological imagination. The Department of Sociology at the University of Basel therefore encourages student mobility. Link to the mobility programs of the University of Basel.
Within the framework of the ERASMUS program, the Department of Sociology has concluded direct agreements with a number of universities. The advantages of this program are that it simplifies admission to the host university and exempts participants from tuition fees. During your stay abroad, you remain enrolled at your home university, but are unable to earn credit points there. Conversely, the credits you earn abroad will be recognized. The financial support awarded amounts to around CHF 300 per month.
Please contact the Department of Sociology if you would like to spend an ERASMUS semester studying at one of the universities listed on the right. Additional universities with which an ERASMUS agreement has been concluded can be found here. If you would like to study at one of these universities, please get in touch with the Mobility Office.
