About the Department of Sociology

The main web page for our department is https://www.soc.lu.se/en/

The Department of Sociology at Lund University was founded in 1947, Social Anthropology was established in the department in 1973. The department of Sociology is part of the Faculty of Social Sciences. The Department has currently about 580 students and about 80 employees and holds two subjects: Sociology and Social Anthropology.

Research is conducted in a variety of fields, which is also reflected in our wide range of courses given both on campus in Lund and online. The department offers courses and programs in undergraduate, postgraduate and Ph.D. levels in both disciplines.

Our department is located right in the heart of Lund, a few minutes away from the magnificent Lund Cathedral and also close to the central station. The campus area, filled with beautiful trees and architecture, is called Paradis.

The campus offers plenty of study areas, cafés, restaurants as well as a number of other departments of Social Sciences, the main University Library and the Library of Social Sciences.

From summer 2023 to summer 2024 our department will be renovated and the staff has just moved to the nearby Allhelgonaskolan at Bredgatan 26 in the outskirts of campus area Paradis. All teaching will take place in other premises on Campus Paradis. You can of course book a meeting with your teacher or a study adviser at Allhelgonaskolan (see contact details below).
