Overview
Contents of the subject Educational Science
The BA major subject Educational Science provides thorough knowledge of education and socialisation, as well as training in social-scientific research methods.
Building on a broad disciplinary foundation, the degree programme enables individual specialisation. Students choose, according to their interests, from three professional fields:
• education in childhood,
• adult and continuing education,
• social work.
In this way, they qualify in a targeted manner for various pedagogical fields of practice. An integrated practise-oriented phase provides scope to apply theoretical knowledge and gain professional experience. The bachelor’s thesis must be written within the major subject. Working on a self-chosen topic, students bring together the competences they have acquired.
Students combine the major subject with a minor subject of their choice. In addition, the individual subsidiary subjects offer scope for further in-depth study in the chosen subjects or for insights into other disciplines.
Das sagen unsere Studierenden
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.
