Study Mode

On Campus

The Bachelor's degree programme in Social Sciences is a combination of political science and sociology. It provides fundamental theoretical and empirical knowledge of politics and society, with a focus on Germany and Europe. Students learn, for example, what characterises a strong democracy, or why social inequality exists and how it affects all of our lives. Students learn the methods of both qualitative and quantitative empirical social research. This gives them the tools they need to conduct interviews and interpret statistics themselves.
The course enables students to analyse political and social conditions and apply social science explanatory models to the pressing problems of our society - such as sustainability or crumbling social cohesion. Supplementary courses from neighbouring disciplines such as history, psychology, economics and education allow students to look beyond their own specialist fields. Students can also acquire language certificates and complete part of their degree programme at a partner university abroad.
