Among other organisations, strong ties exist to GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies in Cologne as well as to the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB) and the Federal Institute for Vocational Training (BIBB). The empirical and analytical focus of the programme will enable you to analyse social phenomena using state-of-the-art research methods and to carry out an independent research project. Upon graduating from the programme, you will be ready for a professional career in many areas as well as for PhD programmes in social sciences with us or worldwide. The research seminar gives a hands-on approach to social research. Another module is devoted to learning how to apply scientific knowledge to solve real-world problems in organisations and society as a whole. The methods training is strongly application-oriented. Furthermore, the department hosts numerous research projects funded by international and national funding agencies. By joining this programme you will receive training from an outstanding, internationally recognised faculty at Germany's leading sociology department (first rank in Germany in the Shanghai Ranking continuously from 2018 until now). Furthermore, you will develop the valuable skills to solve real-world problems and challenges arising within organisations and our contemporary society.
