The degree program

Based on subjects of political sciences and sociology, the Master's degree program offers an interdisciplinary postgraduate education. The focus is on theories, subjects and methods of internationally and interculturally comparative political science and sociology. Students experience directly which research issues are currently dealt with in social sciences and with which methods they try to answer the questions. They are able to be integrated into the current, also international, research projects of the scientists in Siegen.
Attending to conferences or summer schools can be part of the curriculum – students can develop their personal qualification profile in the qualifying module and have it recognised for their studies.

The target of the degree program is teaching theoretical qualifications, interdisciplinary knowledge and reinforced technical competences that permit graduates to implement and solve political, social and cultural problems in scientific issues that can be methodically processed, as well as to work in areas that demand professional handling of data and results from empirical social research or execution of empirical examinations.
In the methodical area, great value is put on teaching empirical research competences; students can specialise in quantitative or qualitative methods.

Graduates of the degree program are qualified for professional specialist-sciences know-how. This opens up diverse professional perspectives for them. Possible areas of activity are: International organizations, publishing houses, agencies and media of international and intercultural communication, elements and principles and other private-law organizations, research and consultancy agencies under private law, parties, associations, development aid organizations and non-governmental organizations, public administration with the special tasks of analysis and planning of social and cultural structures or public service, education and further education, science and research.

Study organization

Subject examination regulations including study plans and module descriptions

The Framework Examination Regulations (RPO-M) and the general subject-specific regulations of the subject examination regulations (PHIL-FPO-M) define the general regulations of studying in Siegen and at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
In addition, the subject examination regulations of the individual (partial) degree programs (FPOs) define the basic structures of a (partial) degree program (e.g. admission requirements and content to be studied). The examination regulations are accompanied by curricula, which represent the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects, as well as module descriptions (content-related information on modules).
Students are automatically subject to the current version of an FPO when they enroll for their first semester.
