Whether family, youth, the economy, the world of work, life in the city or in the countryside, our communication behavior or our attitude to religious issues - nothing stays the same. Sociology deals with the causes of social change and analyzes social trends.
If you are interested in the developmental dynamics of societies and are curious about how people live together, you are well placed to study sociology. Prospective sociologists should be prepared to engage in abstract thinking and not be irritated by the complexity of society, but rather see it as a challenge.
The Bachelor's degree program in Sociology at the University of Kassel provides theoretical and methodological tools for reflecting on and researching the social. In contrast to other subjects, students are not trained for a (single) specific profession, but the courses provide a profile of skills that qualify students for work in different areas of society. While many universities have a very rigid course of study, the University of Kassel offers freedom for self-study, options for students to focus on their own content and concentration on a small number of examinations. The six-semester Bachelor's degree course is divided into three study phases and, in addition to the major subject, includes a minor subject, an internship, a (voluntary) stay abroad and the acquisition of integrative and additive key competencies.
