It asks how social structures affect individuals and groups and how human coexistence is possible. In particular, sociology studies modern societies. Applying a wide range of empirical methods, sociology investigates the interaction between economic, political and cultural orders, modern forms of social inequality and their ensuing conflicts.
Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Sociology
The six-semester BA programme offers a professional qualification by giving a thorough foundation in sociological theory, combined with ambitious instruction on the methods of empirical social science and research-oriented topics for in-depth study. Students can choose between two accredited study programmes.
- Single-Subject BA: With the single-subject BA, the emphasis of the degree programme is on sociology. Besides methods and statistics courses, students take modules in classical and modern sociological theory and choose a combination of mandatory courses in the fields of work-knowledge-social structure, political sociolog / social policy or cultural sociology.
- Two-Subject BA: In the two-subject BA programme, students combine sociology with one other equally valued subject, which can be chosen from a wide range of subjects of all other faculties.
Although the language of instruction is predominantly German, we usually offer a few classes in English each semester. Moreover, students have the option of writing their exams in English in most classes.
