The increasing global integration of politics, law, economy and culture is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Interdisciplinary knowledge, as conveyed in the Faculty of Economics, Law and Social Sciences at the University of Erfurt, is therefore becoming increasingly important.
Our Degree programmes combine the three subject areas :
In the major and minor in Social Sciences you will deal with social orders, institutions and organisations. The social sciences focus on the question of how political and social arrangements are created, reproduced and transformed.
In researching these connections, they emphasize historical, international and cultural comparison. In addition, the emphasis of method training highlights the role of social research as a science as well as knowledge of the methods of applied social research.

Assessment by Carl at Studycheck
There really is a lot more to this subject area than you might first think. Especially due to the super motivating university lecturers who show enthusiasm and pass this on to you. Especially due to the "smaller number" of students, every student is really recognised and can approach the contact persons with their concerns.
Rating from Fran at Studycheck
The degree programme is very interesting because it is interdisciplinary. This means that social sciences, law and economics are dealt with together. This gives you a good overview of the elective specialisations. The lecture theatres are equipped with modern Technology (for Secondary Schools).
