The main idea which drives sociology studies at Goethe University Frankfurt is the teaching of social science thinking and research in their entire breadth both on the basis of theoretical considerations as well as empirical investigation. In the tradition of social sciences in Frankfurt, students should acquire the skills during the course of their M.A. in Sociology to work independently and in accordance with scientific principles and to apply scientific methods and insights to questions relevant to society. The consecutive and research-based Masters programme in Sociology thus teaches deeper knowledge of social theories and methods, as well as skills which allow students to use research results and research methods independently and in accordance with the principles of good scientific practice, in order to develop their own questions and follow them up in the framework of sound and practice-oriented research work.
The Masters programme in Economic Sociology offers research-based instruction in the sociological analysis of modern economies in their social and historical contexts. The social, cultural, institutional and political principles and references to economic action and processes are examined from a social science perspective. Core thematic areas are markets, work, culture of economics as well as the institutional embedding of transnational economic processes. Special emphasis is placed on the examination of players and processes in global financial markets.
