Two complementary minor programs are offered jointly by all social sciences (Department of Political Science, Department of Communication and Media Research, Department of Religious Studies, Department of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies and Department of Sociology): Methods-Data-Society and Social Sciences.
The complexity of social structures and the dynamics of social processes in diverse work and private life situations calls for social science skills that allow a reflective approach to current and future challenges. The minor in Social Sciences facilitates an understanding of complex social interdependencies through a broad multidisciplinary offering spanning political science, sociology, communication science and media research, empirical cultural studies, and religious studies. The program provides students with a broad knowledge of important social issues and the ability to reflect on them critically, enabling them to assume roles at the interfaces of business, science, international relations, public administration, law, education, government, and public service.

The digitalization and measurement of society are generating a wealth of data on social interactions and human behavior. Both inside and outside the academic community there is a growing need for specialists with a broad and well-founded repertoire of social science methodological skills to analytically accompany the process of digitizing society and provide a basis for decisionmaking on social development. The minor in Methods – Data – Society expands students’ knowledge and skills in the quantitative and qualitative methodologies of the social sciences. They learn to use different methodological tools, including statistics, to prepare and analyze different data from public administrations, (social) media, surveys, and experiments, and communicate the findings appropriately for the relevant audience.
