Aufbau

The master programme which includes 120 ECTS-Points is structured in two strands, which correspond with its main didactic aims.
The first is devoted to teaching students the basic theoretical and methodological approaches to the interfaces of science, technology and society as well as to guiding them to develop in-depth knowledge on selected research specialisations within this field.
In the second strand students are trained in the skills they will need to develop and apply this knowledge in the academic field and beyond.

In the third and fourth semester, students write a master thesis on a topic developed in the context of their chosen research specialisations. Guidance and feedback is offered in the individual interaction with the thesis supervisor as well as in the context of practice-oriented thesis seminars.
The Master thesis can be written in English or German.

Qualifikationsprofil

The goal of this master‘s programme is to prepare students to think analytically and critically and to investigate and understand the complex interactions between various scientific fields, technologies and society.

Students will develop the skills necessary to identify problems and to find adequate ways to investigate them. This implies that they will be able to conceptualise research questions and to address them using methods of social science research. Their academic training will enable them to successfully integrate empirical work and theoretical reflection. Further, project development and management will be an important focus of teaching.
