Sociology examines both individual human behavior and the actions of collective actors and how they impact the co-existence of people and societies. Sociology lays the foundations to not only understand social issues and social problems, but how to coping with them as well.

The Master's degree program in Sociology is an extension of the the Bachelor's degree in Sociology, providing a deeper scientific understanding as well as complementing academic qualifications. Students study theory and methods more intensively and independently, exploring and discussing current issues and approaches in order to pursue independent academic and scientific activities. In addition, the Master's degree program allows you to specialize in selected professional fields in a social and occupational capacity.

Almost all facets of society, economics and culture undergo profound change processes. These processes have diverse global consequences on societies and individuals and present a special challenge within all scientific disciplines. Sociology examines individual human behavior, collective group actions and the impact on the cohabitation of people and societies. Sociological analysis describes, explains and evaluates social structures as well as social processes and social change in diverse societal areas and on different levels. Sociology therefore creates the basis for understanding social questions and societal problems as well as ways to manage them.
