Studying at the Institute of Sociology
Do you sometimes wonder why things are the way they are? For example, why our society experiences so many crises? Why poverty still exists despite prosperity? Or why we are constantly adapting our lives to digital technologies?
If so, then sociology might be the perfect field of study for you!
These are just a few of the questions that are repeatedly posed in the social science of sociology and answered through theoretical considerations and empirical studies. Sociology seeks to find answers to the questions that drive society. To this end, it collects data, for example, through surveys or interviews, in order to subsequently identify problems and present solutions.
