The master's degree in sociology gains its special profile by setting three thematic priorities. On the one hand, he serves two core areas of disciplinary expertise - sociological theories and quantitative and qualitative methods of empirical social research - at an advanced, international level. On the other hand, due to its consistent research orientation, the course places a clear emphasis on the development of practical research experience and skills.
In a two-semester research module, in-depth knowledge of all phases of an empirical research process is acquired, from the development of a question and the theory-based conception of a research design, through the generation of hypotheses and operationalization, to the selection and application of suitable quantitative and qualitative methods, as well as data analysis and the written preparation of the results conveyed in a research report.
In addition, the course offers its students a wide range of special specialization options that can be used to develop individual competence profiles. In order to be able to communicate the conclusions of their self-organized research work to experts and laypersons, students can also train their dialogue and team skills within the framework of team studies and tutorials guided by university didactics.
