Profile of Study Program
The Master Program in Sociology at the faculty of Social and Political Sciences UGM has been held since 1983 with a focus on critical thinking and emancipatory research
Department of Sociology was established in 1955, and has started to organize undergraduate education programs (S2) since 1983. Based on the decision of BAN-PT. No. 8223/SK/BAN-PT/Ak-PPJ/M/XII/2020 dated December 15, 2020, the Master program (S2) of Sociology, FISIPOL UGM received an accreditation certificate from BAN-P.Ji with an A grade. This certificate is valid for 5 (five) year, from 13 December 2020 to 13 December 2025.
The Master Program in Sociology at the faculty of Social and Political Sciences UGM has been held since 1983 with a focus on critical thinking and emancipatory research. The focus is the dialectical development of the theory and methodology of the sociological discipline and the inter-disciplinary social sciences. At the same time, it is also a substantial distinction for the reproduction of sociology and social sciences at the regional and global levels. The focus applied is the study of Social Policy. This study aims to encourage students to be able to produce social policy ideas that are relevant to the development of contemporary sociology and social science and have a social advocacy basis.
Double Degree Program
In this Double Degree International Program, students take part in the Master of Sociology program (with a specialization in Employment and Social Policy) at Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta and Master of Social Policy at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
There are three areas of change that became the background for the establishment of this program. First, changes in the employment landscape caused by demographic changes, industrial transformation, and demands for social security. Second, the establishment of the Social Security System (SJSN) through BPJS Employment and BPJS Health since 2014. Third, the spread of the digital economy has created job losses and job gains, new employment relationships, and new types of vulnerabilities.
Meanwhile, until now there has been no adequate academic endeavors to study these changes in order to adapt and improve the existing social protection system. Therefore, Universitas Gadjah Mada has been partnering with the University of Melbourne in initiating the Master level of the Double Degree program.
The advantage of this program is that students could learn about the dynamics of social problems and social life in the Indonesian context, and at the same time they also gain knowledge about the same problems at the regional and global context. This academic learning will also equip students with rich theoretical understanding and high-quality practical skills to apply their knowledge in policy practice. This program is designed for state civil servants/government agency employees dealing with social protection, employment, and social security providers, as well as individuals working for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) or the private sector in terms of social service provision or social policy/program analysis and social policy planning.
