Master's programme: Seminar selection in the modules "Freies Modul Erweiterungswissen" and "Freies Modul Spezialisierungswissen"
In accordance with the study regulations, you can choose seminars from the ‘Catalogue for the Profile Area of Master's Programmes at the Faculty of Philosophy [...]’ in the above-mentioned modules.
This catalogue will no longer be available in future.
If you choose this study option, you will therefore need to select courses yourself from the range of courses offered in the relevant subjects ‘in a neighbouring discipline, preferably in the humanities, social sciences or cultural studies, in accordance with the learning agreement’.
As participation in courses in other subjects has been repeatedly rejected by the relevant lecturers in the past, you will find a letter here, that you can present to lecturers to facilitate your participation in the selected seminar.
The Academic Advisors of the Institute of Sociology are:
- Dipl. Psych. Oliver Brust
- Dr. Stephan Hein
- Dr. Andreas Höntsch
