Our interdisciplinary study programmes in social sciences and law focus on current social topics: social rights and human rights, intercultural understanding and diversity, (media) culture and digitisation / digitalisation, migration and globalisation, European integration and transnational governance. The programs are aimed at prospective students who wish to qualify in sociology, law, communication studies, political science and cultural studies, and who are open to an international environment: The programmes offer English-medium teaching, international study groups and a wide range of opportunities for periods abroad – ensuring that your degree is not only a qualification for your profession, but also a source of inspiration for your role in society.
