Master’s in Social Sciences’ course
This is an academic research Masters, of two years (120 credits), taught entirely in English. It is a Master’s degree with an international reputation in the field of Social Sciences, as demanding, intense and rigorous as the best graduate programs in the United States and Europe.
The aim of this Master’s is to teach students to undertake high level research in the key themes of the Social Sciences. The Master’s provides advanced and interdisciplinary training in the Social Sciences, by stressing the importance of methodology and quantitative analysis.
The Master’s covers three fields: Political Science, Sociology and Economic History.
During the first year, all courses are common, with two differentiated blocks: on the one hand, substantive courses in sociological analysis, social stratification, comparative politics, economic history and political economy; on the other hand, methodological courses in statistics, game theory and research design.
During the second year, there are some additional methodological courses and students can choose one of the three specialization tracks (political science, sociology and economic history).
Master’s students can continue their research via the PhD in Social Sciences offered by the UC3M Department of Social Sciences in collaboration with the IC3JM.
The Master’s faculty is composed of members of the IC3JM and the Department of Social Sciences of the Universidad Carlos III and visiting professors.

Master’s in Political and Electoral Analysis
This is an official, professionally oriented Master’s degree that seeks to train analysts who have an in-depth knowledge of political surveys and public opinion, as well as the strategies followed by political and social actors. It lasts one year (60 credits). The Master’s is taught entirely in Spanish and is aimed at all students and professionals interested in understanding public opinion, getting to know the tools for its analysis (survey techniques, graphic analysis, experiments, analysis of big data) and undertaking political and electoral analysis, both academically and professionally.
It offers a wide variety of courses, taught by some of the best experts on public opinion and politics in Spain, both from universities and research firms.
The Master includes internships in companies and research institutes.
