Summary/Abstract: The major aim of this article is to shed light on the growing tensions between traditional academic education and Bologna process. It examines what implications these tensions have for academic disciplines, sociology in particular. The study focuses on the transition between bachelor and master studies in sociology invoking the T. Becher’s and P. Trowler’s seminal concept of ‘academic tribes and territories’. In the article, we address two questions: (a) which of the academic tribes in the field of social sciences have adopted the two-cycle study structure required by the Bologna process – and which ones have managed to block it; (b) do universities of higher academic prestige socialize stronger to academic tribes than those with lower academic prestige?
