Experiences of our GTS’s former students
We were curious about the programme’s advantages in their professions and in their personal lives. We, then, collected experiences of earlier GTS students about the programme and their careers.

TCuPS – our research group
The integration of students into on-going research is through Tampere Research Group for Cultural and Political Sociology (TCuPS). One ongoing research project of TCuPS focuses on how COVID-19 effects the world system, offering recommendations about for future global crises. Another research project analyses policy debates in the EU and the role of identifications in political rhetoric.
Earlier projects have focused on a myriad of phenomena: How is morality hidden in policymaking in modern world society? How national policy-makers utilize international comparisons? How is communication and information technology used in everyday life? Researches are reflecting on current and relevant phenomena, offering students a chance to follow pioneering scientific work closely.
