General description

The History, Society, Politics minor study program is offered by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences for Bachelor's students in the Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics, and the Faculty of Science. Social and societal contexts have a great influence on academic disciplines, and help determine how research in these disciplines is accepted, promoted, and implemented. An understanding of the temporal and social dimensions and of political decisionmaking is therefore an important component of successful research and its application in society. This minor study program is designed to address this point of intersection by endeavoring to give participants a deeper insight into history, society, and politics. Participants can set their own area of focus through their choice of modules.
