Teaching Research

Concept

We regularly teach research as part of the Sociology bachelor's programme. As a student, you will try out your own research project, which you will carry out together in a small student group. This teaching format is characterised by independent work and the transfer of previously acquired theoretical knowledge into a real research process. As lecturers, we will support you as learning guides and lead you through this two-semester course, starting with the search for a research topic and a research question, through the preparation of a research proposal, the empirical implementation using qualitative methods of the social sciences, to the preparation of your results in a research report and a final presentation with a presentation poster. For most students, learning research in this kind of format is one of the most intensive experiences when immersing themselves in sociological thinking and often results in the preparation of a bachelor's thesis in a related field.

If you have any questions, please contact Prof Dr Stefanie Hiß. de
