Display more details about the subject
Für mich war es ein besonderes Highlight zu sehen, wie sich meine Fächerkombination aus Soziologie im Hauptfach und Geschichte im Nebenfach gegenseitig ergänzt. Soziologie hat mir dabei einen ganz neuen Blick auf historische Prozesse eröffnet - und andersherum. Momentan kann ich mir sehr gut vorstellen, im Anschluss an mein Studium in der Forschung zu arbeiten.
