Studies and Teaching

Regular Courses

The chair is in charge of teaching Methods of Empirical Social Research. In this field, introductory and advanced courses are regularly offered both for Bachelor and Master studies, such as:

• the lecture "Einführung in die quantitativen Methoden"
("Introduction to quantitative methods");
• the tutorial "Angewandte Datenanalyse"
("Applied Data Analysis");
• research internships; and
• seminars.

In addition, we also offer courses in compulsory elective modules for Bachelor and Master studies. In this context, the focus is likewise on the discussion of quantitative research results. Taking part in our courses generally requires openness to quantitative methods. Exemplary subject areas include:

• Discrimination, e.g. on the housing market;
• Educational sociology;
• Economic sociology;
• Social inequality in its most different forms and with regard to its temporal development.
