Cultural and Social Studies

Cultural and Social Studies is a Bachelor's programme conducted in English and progressively in German, so it provides for the gradual acquisition of knowledge of German or knowledge of another foreign language (in addition to the dominant language, English). It aims to develop an understanding of the contemporary social and cultural world through its historical interconnections as well as its intersectionally-organised structures and discourses.
