Educated social workers are in demand across the public, private, and non-profit sectors in various fields, including social welfare, education, the justice system, and healthcare. You can also become an entrepreneur - achieve success through social entrepreneurship or, after completing your studies, find a meaningful professional role that contributes to society. As the field is still relatively young, there is an ongoing shortage of adequately trained specialists to carry out this highly important and rewarding work. Join us and begin your studies at the School of Governance, Law and Society of Tallinn University!

Sociology focuses on the study of society, human behavior, and social relationships. We welcome students who are curious about the world around them and who wish to acquire knowledge that enables them to understand and analyze how interpersonal relationships, social groups, and institutions function, and how social structures and cultural norms shape people’s lives.
