On the other hand, you will learn how to structure the acquired knowledge and communicate your findings to others. The core modules of the program of study are a module focusing on theories and methods and a two-semester project module giving you the opportunity to choose your own research area. In addition to that, you will take modules in similar fields of study, such as Law, Philosophy or Economics. You can choose these additional modules depending on your subject-specific focus. Small classes, personal support as well as close links with local and regional institutions make for an ideal learning environment and allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice.
