The Social Sciences degree program is designed to enable future teachers to teach their students the fundamental connections between political, social and economic complexes of topics in a systematic form. By combining subject didactic and thematic content with theory-practice elements and in-school and out-of-school internships, the degree program comprehensively prepares students for future teaching positions and enables them to teach the subject of social sciences in its entire breadth: Political Science, Sociology, Economics, Didactics of Social Sciences.

Students can study the subject of social sciences in the three-stage teacher training program for the teaching profession at secondary schools (Gymnasien and Gesamtschulen (GyGe) or Haupt-, Real-, Sekundar- and Gesamtschulen (HRSGe)).

The Bachelor's program in Social Sciences is designed to provide an interdisciplinary foundation and systematic links between the individual sub-disciplines of Political Science, Sociology and Economics, and to lay the subject-specific foundation for the three component disciplines.

The Master's program in Social Sciences deepens the foundations acquired in the Bachelor's program by adding subject-specific and subject-didactic focal points and links these in theory-practice modules.
