Annotation

The Master's degree course in Socio-Cultural Studies (MASS) offers a 2-year Master’s programme at the intersection between Social Sciences and Cultural Studies. This crossover creates its special profile: The degree programme analyses social practices and entire societies from a cultural point of view, i.e. their character from cultural knowledge systems. In reverse, cultural phenomena provide a point of interest insofar as they take on a social, societal form. The Master's course in Socio-Cultural Studies is aimed at prospective students who have completed a Bachelor's degree course in Social Sciences and who wish to continue this with a focus on the cultural aspect of modern societies (Cultural Sociology, Cultural Anthropology, Research on Culture and Politics, Urban and Gender Studies). At the same time, it is aimed at prospective students with a degree course in Cultural Studies and who wish to build on this by intensifying their interest in the theories and methods of the Social Sciences.
