Sociology is the science of social action. Social action is usually based on norms, but deviations also occur. For example, conflicts develop that can give rise to new norms. Through social action evolves the whole cosmos of human interactions, whether for, with or against each other: flirting and chatting, friendships and enmities, couples, families, associations, networks, companies, markets, parties, states, religions, international organisations, societies, etc.
Sociology studies such and other phenomena in their ongoing transformation and multiple interconnections. To this end, it formulates theories to store its knowledge and develops methods to gain valid insights into the social cosmos. In the degree programme, you will be taught all the necessary theoretical and methodological fundamentals to be able to apply academic work techniques and sociological knowledge in practice.
