Overview

The fruit of a collaboration between the Social Sciences departments of ENS-PSL and École des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), the Master’s degree in Social Science offers a unique educational framework for three fundamental social science disciplines—anthropology, history, and sociology—that makes space for the subjects and territory of other disciplines such as political science and economics.
This master's degree is part of PSL social sciences graduate program. 

Learning outcomes

This Master’s degree offers training in research by doing research and focuses on the acquisition of specific knowledge from each discipline. Through research workshops and field internship, students become familiar with statistics, archiving, ethnography, and cartography, and the core of the second year curriculum is an individual research project.

The program is primarily affiliated with the Centre Maurice Halbwachs (a joint CNRS-EHESS-ENS-PSL unit) and also benefits from the contributions of research professors and researchers from other EHESS laboratories (such as IRIS and CESSP).

Who should apply?

The course is open to any applicant with an educational background in the humanities and social sciences (Economics, Political Science, Humanities, History, Geography, Sociology, Social Science, etc.) as well as to those holding a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics or Computer Science applied to the humanities and social science.

Courses are held in the heart of Paris, mainly on the Paris-Jourdan Campus of École Normale Supérieure-PSL and at EHESS.

Opportunities

First and foremost, the Master’s Degree in Social Science prepares students for careers in research. Students in the program are intended to continue their education by preparing a PhD. The Quantification Social Science track also offers corporate opportunities.

Qualifications

Prerequisites

This major is designed mainly for students with an educational background in the social sciences (anthropology, history, political science, sociology) or multidisciplinary fields of study (such as political studies, economic and social administration, and graduates of the PSL CPES). It is also suitable for students with other backgrounds (in law, economics, literature, philosophy, mathematics, physics, biology, statistics) who wish to add a social sciences component or switch their focus. It can also benefit students who wish to train at a high level as cultural interpreters, or more mature students who, for personal or professional reasons, are interested in studying the social sciences.
