Abstract

The digital transformation of society has been studied in sociological science for more than a decade, and in recent years especially intensively. At the same time, these processes are not yet reflected in all educational programmes in sociological education. In the proposed article, a statistical analysis of sociological education's reflection on the digitalisation of society is carried out. To obtain the results, we propose the following criteria: the availability of bachelor's and master's degree programmes with a "digital" orientation, the inclusion of "digital" disciplines in non-digital training programmes, and the availability of relevant literature for modern sociology students. The research has revealed a wider spread of educational programmes and offered disciplines of digital content in Master's degree programmes than in Bachelor's degree programmes. It also suggests that the existing stratification of universities (research institutes, federal, core, etc.) manifests itself as a kind of digital inequality - some universities can afford training in accordance with the requirements of digitalisation, while others lack the resources to do so. At the same time, the reflection of the digitalisation of society is still positive.
