Degree Programs from A to Z
In addition to providing general sociological skills in the areas of sociological thinking, theories, and social structure, we offer a focus on six key fields of social change (students choose two of them): Social Inequalities and Cultural Differences, Life Course and Biography, Health and Well-Being, Work, Organization and Technology, Knowledge and Education, and Environment and Innovation.
In the Master’s degree Sociology, our department profile "Life in Transformation" is deepened in various areas: What does the future of work look like? Can today’s standard of living and justice for future generations be reconciled (keyword sustainability)? What do mobility patterns look like in different countries and regions, from commuting to migration? What challenges - not only for pensions and care, but also, for example, for housing or education - do aging societies bring with them?
Spatial planning is an interdisciplinary field within the engineering sciences that is concerned with spatial developments in living, working and environmental conditions. The different spatial levels stretch from home environment and neighborhood to suburb, town/city as a whole, surrounding area, regional and national level to European and international level.

The Master’s degree program qualifies students for the increasing demand in professional practice for planning know-how with a sound scientific foundation. It teaches them the ability to organize and manage planning projects at all planning and decision-making levels as well as to lead interdisciplinary working groups. Together with a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject, the Master’s degree additionally permits graduates to commence a traineeship in urban development within the civil service.

SPRING stands for Spatial Planning for Regions in Growing Economies and is a two-year Master’s degree program that addresses current spatial planning topics in developing and emerging countries. SPRING students discuss, for example, the challenges of rapid urban growth, reflect on the conflict between environmental protection and economic development, develop concepts to improve transport systems or define strategies to cope with the impacts of climate change.
Every day we encounter tables and graphs in newspapers, on television and on the Internet. That’s why many people think that’s statistics. In truth, there is much more to it than that. Statistics is the separation of chance and system, the inference from random samples to basic populations, the identification of causal relationships or the finding of small needles in large haystacks.
Statistics is becoming increasingly important in almost all areas of business, science and everyday life. Planning clinical trials, quality control in industry, forecasting election results or economic growth rates all rely on modern statistics.

Today, new knowledge in science, economics, management, and technology is created almost exclusively from large quantities of complex data. The ability to process such data competently and good academic training in this area are in demand in the job market. The proper handling of patient or customer data, share prices and returns, and weather or climate information is well paid and increasingly in demand.
