Display more details about the subject
Das Highlight meines Studiums ist das breit gefächerte Kursangebot in der Erziehungswissenschaft. Es umfasst eine große Bandbreite – von der Arbeit mit Kindern und Jugendlichen bis hin zur Erwachsenenbildung und Migrationspädagogik. Überall dort, wo es um Bildungsprozesse und Kommunikation miteinander geht, wird Erziehungswissenschaft relevant. Von der Fakultät habe ich zudem wertvolle Unterstützungsangebote erhalten, die mir geholfen haben, in dem vielfältigen Kursangebot genau das zu finden, was am besten zu mir passt. Besonders feministische Themen haben mich dabei sehr interessiert, die ich im Laufe meines Studiums vertiefen konnte.
