STUDY AND RESEARCH AT THE DEPARTMENT
Educational and Professional Goals
The Department of Sociology has been a leading centre for teaching and research in
sociology since its establishment in 1964. From the beginning, the department has
adopted an interdisciplinary approach in both teaching and research, and as such has
become the model for many of the other sociology departments established later in
Turkey. As far as teaching is concerned, the main objective of the department is to
create for its students the kind of academic and intellectual environment in which they
can acquire the best possible professional knowledge in theoretical and empirical issues
and experience in sociological research. In the case of research, the department aims at
making a maximum contribution to the advancement of science, and to the social and
economic development of the country.
Major Fields of Research Interests
The major fields of research interests as represented by the recently published or the
ongoing research topics of the teaching staff are as follows: ageing and the elderly, arts
and society, criminology, domestic life and women, employment, environmental issues,
industrial relations, health and illness, cultural groups, ethnic and minority groups, media
and communication, migration, methodology in the social sciences, physical and mental
disability, rural-agrarian change and peasantry, social stratification and mobility, sociocultural change, social and political violence, youth culture, traffic safety and urban life.

1. Undergraduate: 302 (241 female, 61 male)
2. Masters: 53 (25 female, 28 male)
3. Ph.D.: 32 (17 female, 15 male).
UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMME
Requirements for Entrance and Graduation
The Department accepts each year a maximum of 70 students for undergraduate studies,
depending on its teaching resources. Individuals wishing to study sociology as
undergraduates in the Department are required to have completed successfully their
lycee/high school education or its equivalent and to have obtained enough points from
the university entrance exam. This exam is organized centrally and annually by the
Student Selection and Placement Centre, and the students are placed by the same centre
into departments according to their choice of university and the rank order of the points
they have obtained. The undergraduate students are not required to take any other
exam before registering for study in the Department. In order to graduate, the students
should earn from their studies a minimum of 128 credits in accordance with the principles
explained in the following section on the Structure of the Programme.
Structure of the Programme
The curriculum for undergraduate studies defines a single programme based on course
work. The courses are of four types: (1) university common compulsory courses, (2)
departmental compulsory courses, (3) intra-departmental elective courses and (4) extradepartmental elective courses.
1. The university common compulsory courses comprise those with course
codes AİT (Atatürk’s Principles and History of Turkish Revolution), TKD (Turkish
Language), and a Foreign Language (usually English, French, German, Italian or
Spanish) course. These courses have to be taken by all students registered with
the university and the credits gained are not included in the minimum total credits
required for graduation. However, credits gained from a foreign language course
other than that is taken by a student as a must course included in the minimum
total credits required for graduation. Students can take exemption exams for a
compulsory Foreign Language course and successful students are granted the full
grades they obtain in this way.
2. Departmental compulsory courses comprise those courses which are
offered by the Department and which all the sociology undergraduate students
must take in order to graduate. There are 24 compulsory courses in the
curriculum and they yield a total of 72 credits.
3. Intra-departmental elective courses comprise those courses which are
offered by the Department itself, and the students must acquire a minimum of 12
credits from the courses that they select from this group. By a special regulation
in force in the Department, first and second year students can take only first and
second year electives, third and fourth year students can take only second, third
and fourth year elective courses. A further qualification for these elective courses
is that, according to a decision of the University Senate, a minimum of ten
students must register for an elective course for it to be taught in a particular
semester.
3
4. Extra-departmental elective courses comprise the students’ choice from:
(a) all of the courses (must or elective) offered by the departments of
Anthropology, History, History of Art, Psychology, Philosophy, Economics, Public
Administration, International Relations and Social Work, Turkish Language and
Literature, Turkish Ethnology, English Linguistics, German Language and
Literature, French Language and Literature, American Culture and Literature, and
(b) with the special approval of Departmental Board, any other course offered by
any other department within the university.
A student must acquire a minimum of 9 credits from extra-departmental elective courses
and should seek the approval of the lecturer giving the course before registering for it. It
is entirely left to the student to choose from any of the courses thus determined but the
Department, by adopting an interdisciplinary approach, actively encourages the students
to take more courses than required with a view to their future professional career and
academic interests. By a special regulation in force in the Department, first and second
year students can take only first and second year electives, third and fourth year
students can take only second, third and fourth year elective courses.
Assessment Methods
According to the university regulations, students’ academic performance for each course
must be assessed at least twice during the term time and once soon after the term is
finished, that is in the final exams. The method, scope, time and weight of assessment
are left to the lecturer to decide. The usual method of assessment is a written exam with
essay type questions. However, the lecturer may decide to give take-home papers or
require the students to give seminar presentations, write term papers or assignments or
research reports. Information about the method of assessment for each individual course
is provided in the section on Course Contents below.
Grading System
The grading system as defined by the university regulations rests on points and their
equivalents in grades and academic scores. Though the same system applies for both
undergraduate and postgraduate studies, the passing grade is set differently, as shown
in the following chart. In addition, the grading system does not attach qualitative labels
(outstanding, excellent, very good, etc.) to the passing grades and their equivalents in
scores.

∗ C2, D1 or D2 grades are considered successful on the condition that the student has
not taken any F1, F2, F3 or K grades in the same semester. Students, whose C2, D1 or
4
D2 grades have thus been accepted as pass grades are permitted to repeat the same
course in order to increase their grades, in which case it is the latest grade that will be
counted.

Course Code and Title: SOS 203-Classical Sociological Theories I
Year and Semester: Second year, Autumn
ECTS Credits: 6
Lecturer: Dr. Abdulkerim Sönmez
Course Contents: The course consists of three parts. The first makes a critical
introduction to how to distinguish between philosophical and social-scientific thinking and
the centrality of classics in the development of social and sociaological theory. This is
followed in the second part by an examination of the selected writings of some of the
most influential scholars and founding fathers of social theory and sociological thought in
antiquity and medival times, namely Plato, Aristotel and Farabi. The third part starts with
an examination of Ibn Haldun’s grounding of sociology as a rational-ampirical science,
then concentrates on his theory of historical development as an expression of dialectical
relations between social organization, politics, economics and culture, and religion and
religous movements as an important factor in the development of history and society.
This examination serves to illustrate not only a major achievement in the development of
sociological thought as separate from philosophy and history but also as an opportunity
to draw attention to major issues concerning theorization of temporal conditions and
cyclical patterns of societal and political organization in historical sociology and
sociological theory in premodern times. This is followed by an examination of writings of
Montesquieu and Tocqueville who witnessed the closing of the mediaval ages but did not
see the full emergence of modern society.
Course Objectives: Any successfull student taken this course understands and
expresses the approach and the fundamental theoretical structure of the work of each
scholar witin itself and in comparison to that of other scholars examined; understands
and expresses the differences between philosophical and scientific approaches to society
and social issues; understands, expresses and illustrates how the process of construction

Course Code and Title: SOS 219-Sociology of Social Institutions
Year and Semester: Second Year, Autumn
Course Lenght: One semester, 3 theoretical, three hours in a week
ECTS Credits: 6
Lecturer: Dr. M. Demet Ulusoy
Course Objectives: It is being given in the first semester of the second year following
Introduction to Sociology given in the first grade. It aims to scrutinize the process of the
loosely-patterned action’s becoming an institution, the possible stages and mechanisms
in this process are scrutinized and to enable the students to understand the main
variables they need to tackle to make social structural analyses of a social institution in
and after the process of formation. The second aim of the course is to ensure that
students see that the concepts they have priorly learned in the introductory course make
up a meaningful whole within a system as well as the aspects of meanings and contents
in the social process, which are relatively structural and open to change. In this way, this
course also indicates that the definitions of the given concepts are variable as a living
organism and that in this respect the sociological perspective does not provide one with a
readily available prescription. As a result, the course serves as a bridge for the students
on the way to the following courses during which they will see the detailed descriptions
(family, politics, economy, education, religion sociology etc.)
Course Content: At the first stage, what is discussed is the understanding of system,
which displays a dynamic and static structuring of society, which accounts for the
mainstay of the fact that the sociological perspective, which does not offer a readily
available prescription is multifaceted and variable. In this respect, the system models put
forward in the sociological literature and their acceptances on the social system are
summarized. After showing that sociological concepts may change in content and
meaning with acceptances, the main features of the institutions are given in the literature
are submitted. At the third stage, the mechanisms and variables in the process of
transformation of the non-structured behaviors to structured ones are discussed.
Theaching Method: Presentation and discussion

MASTERS PROGRAMME
Entrance Requirements
Entrance to masters studies in the Department is conditional upon the satisfaction of
several criteria. The Department organizes both written and oral exams for the applicants
to test the level of their academic performance in sociological theory, research
methodology and their general awareness of current issues. However, only these holding
a bachelors degree with an average academic score of 2.5 out of 4 (or its equivalent) in
the social, political, administrative, economic, and psychological sciences or humanities
can apply for postgraduate masters studies in the Department. These individuals are
required to have obtained a minimum of 55 points from the Postgraduate Study Exam
(ALES), and 60 points or equivalent from the Foreign Language Exam(s) of KPDS or ÜDS,
both of which are organized by the Student Selection and Placement Centre.
Alternatively, the applicants may take TOEFL or IELTS exams in which case they need to
obtain a score of 58 and 6.5 respectively. Individuals who fail to provide documentary
proof of the level of their proficiency in a foreign language (usually English, French or
German) may be granted one year of leave to improve their foreign language, provided
that they have passed the Departmental entrance exam. The applicants can include
reference letters in their application files if they wish.
The programme for masters studies combines course work with the writing of a thesis.
All courses are elective and the students are required to acquire a total of 21 credits with
a general average academic score of 2.5 (out of 4) from these courses in the first year of
their studies. The students can take maximum 12 credits in each term. Those who fail to
do so may be granted an extra year to improve their scores. With the approval of the
head of the Department, the students can take some of the elective courses from other
departments. In addition, graduates of disciplines/departments other than sociology may
be required to spend one or two semesters studying/taking a number of selected
undergraduate courses before starting their masters studies. These students are allowed
to take a maximum of three masters courses from other departments. Upon completion
of their course work, the students are required to produce an original thesis based on
genuine research. This is done under the supervision of a member of the Department and
the research project requires approval of the Departmental Board. The thesis produced
by the student must be defended by himself/herself before a jury whose final decision
rests on majority vote.
Assessment Methods
are left to the lecturer to decide. Thus the lecturer may decide to give take-home papers
or require the students to give seminar presentations or to write term papers,
assignments or research reports. Information about the method of assessment for each
individual course is provided in the section on Course Contents below.

Year and Semester: Autumn/Spring
ECTS Credits: 7
Name of Lecturer: Dr. Abdulkerim Sönmez
Course Contents: This course deals with the basic philosophy and assumptions of positivism
(naturalism) and constructivism and the methodological tools and strategies they employ in
studying, understanding and explaining social life. To this end the course concentrates first on how
each methodological approach deals with the relation between being, knowledge, theory and
methodology. This is followed by an examination and discussion of how experimental, statistical,
comparative, and historical and case study methods are employed in each methodological approach
and what kinds of ethical, procedural and practical problems arise from the employment of each
method. These examinations and discussions are carried out by reference to classical and
contemporary well known examples of sociological studies as well as examples drawn from studies
conducted by the students themselves.
Course Objectives: At the end of the course the students are expected to be able to recognize
and analyse the methodological strategies employed in a given sociological study, and to be able to
make informed decisions about the methodological, practical and ethical issues involved in the
intended/planned research that they will be doing as part of their postgraduate studies.
Teaching Method: Lectures and discussions.
Assessment Method: Short presentations and participating in classroom discussions (25 percent),

Course Code and Title: SOS 645-Rural Social Structures
ECTS Credits: 7
Course Contents: The course is organized in two parts. The first part starts with an
examination of the historical process leading to the formation of a peasant economy and
society and its links with the process of state formation and the development of division
of labour. This is followed by an examination of how the peasant societies were forced to
shift from subsistence to commodity production in various ways to modernity and what
consequences these had for the internal structure of peasant communities and the wider
structures into which such communities were integrated. Within this general framework,
the second part deals with the case of Turkey. Here particular attention is paid to the
Ottoman policy of creating a peasantry out of nomadic tribes and hence a traditional
state based on peasant economy, the formation and development of the Ottoman land
regime, the process of transition from subsistence to commodity production, and state
policies aiming at the structural transformation of peasant economy in the republican
period.
Course Objectives: On completion of this course, the students develop their grasp of
the social, cultural and economic aspects of rural populations and peasantry, develop
interest in research and policy issues concerning the process and consequences of rural
transformations in connection with economy, culture and polity in contemporary
societies, and make a critical assessment of rural-agricultural development policies and
projects.
Assessment Method: Written exam (60 %) and assignmet (40 %).

throughout the social evolution, and related aesthetic criteria are discussed in this
framework.

Department, the students can take some of the elective courses from other departments.
Those who fail to complete their course work in two years are dismissed. Upon
completion of their course work, students are required to take a Ph.D. proficiency exam
assessing the level of their performance in sociological theory, research methods and the
theoretical and empirical issues related to the topic of their intended Ph.D. research.
Successful students are initially granted a two year period to produce their theses based
on original research and making a genuine contribution either to the advancement of
science or to formulation of a social policy that may help to cope with a significant social
problem. In termly meetings, a Ph.D. review committee consisting of the supervisor and
two other staff oversees the progress that the student is making and may, at the end of
the second year of thesis writing, grant the satisfactory student an extra two years to
complete his/her work. The thesis produced must be defended by the student before a
jury whose decision rests on majority vote.
Assessment Methods
are left to the lecturer to decide. Thus the lecturer may decide to give take-home papers
or require the students to give seminar presentations or to write term papers,
assignments or research reports. Information about the method of assessment for each
individual course is provided in the section on Course Contents below.

ECTS Credits: 10
Course Contents:
At the first stage of the course, information is given on the structural analysis of the
social institutions.
At the second stage, structural-categorical data is given on the six fundamental social
institutions in the Turkish Republican period.
At the third stage, the reports, which have been prepared by the students on their own
choice and related to their thesis, under the interrelationship of the variables within a
fundamental social institution, are discussed.
Course Objectives: The fundamental aim of the course is to provide students who will
prepare a doctorate thesis on in particular, five main social institutions, namely, politics,
economy, family, religion, education and art in the framework of the socio-cultural
structural analysis in the Turkish Republican Period with the information to identify the
variables of their analysis. Second, it is aimed that the students see the different stances
of the variables from different sociological perspectives, that they do a conceptual model
that would possibly emerge in this regard, and that they gain a notion as to how they
could classify the information in the literature accordingly. Thus, special attention is
attached on students’ data collection and command on literature on the basis of their
doctorate thesis.

Transformation
Course Level: Ph.D.
ECTS Credits: 10

second part concentrates on the principal theoretical perspectives and debates on the
persistence of peasantry and simple commodity production within advanced capitalist
economies and recuperation of capitalist and simple commodity production in the former
state socialist societies. The third part deals with the Turkish debate on forms and paths
of rural tarnsformation, consolidation and/or destabilization of petty/simple commodity
production in Turkish agriculture.
Course Objectives: On completion of this course, the students develop their grasp of
the theoretical approaches and issues concerning the transformation of rural structures
and the present state of affairs in rural sociology to a level which enable them to design a
research project leading to PhD.
