Sociology
Abstract
Sociology as a minor or special study programme of the master's degree takes a primarily global and comparative approach as it examines various sociological issues and themes. What challenges are arising from the growing internationalisation of business, politics, culture and other aspects of society? How to deal with the growth of the world population and people's increasing longevity? What inequalities and inter-relationships exist between the rich countries of the Global North and the poor countries of the Global South? What is the role of social players in these processes? This minor or specialisation programme teaches students the skills to be able to analyse social inter-relationships and developments.
