Sociology, Master of Arts (M.A.)
People are not simply individuals who live from within themselves, but social beings whose actions and actions are inconceivable without mutual orientation, influence, and judgement. The person, in their manifold social relations, and the social orders which they create in interaction with others, and in which they live, are the subject of sociology. Its task is to grasp these social references and orders in all their diversity and relations to politics, the economy, law, religion, and culture, and to analyse their meaning and function.
The Sociology programme in Bayreuth not only has a qualitative orientation overall, it is also qualitatively valuable. It is particularly suitable for people who wish to distance themselves from the fast pace and superficiality of teaching, and who have the time and leisure to deal with the content intensively and thoroughly. The size of seminars is usually very small, which is why topics can be dealt with at a high level and in great depth, and great conversations result.
