science, cultural anthropology, educational sciences, pedagogical sciences,
psychology, and sociology. Research and teaching activities are concentrated in
five areas:
Behaviour in Social Contexts;

Methodology and Statistics.
More than 5,600 students are enrolled in a broad range of undergraduate and

talent and to the research into and finding solutions for scientific and
societal issues.
