Sociology

A special highlight of the study program: the semester abroad is firmly integrated and you go abroad for half a year to a (partner) university: other study and life contexts are waiting for you before you start your Bachelor thesis at the TU Dortmund. During the course of your studies, English-language events are offered and foreign ‚incomings‘ enrich your studies with their perspectives. Courses on professional fields and key qualifications, writing workshops and language courses offer additional qualifications for professional practice. The course prepares students for jobs in various professional fields and industries, nothing with outdated clichés. The special thing perhaps is that it is not always so clearly defined. Therefore, in the study: develop a profile by choosing events or topics and set priorities.
