Annotation

The Bachelor of Arts "Social Sciences" is a joint degree course in sociology and political science offered by the Department of Social Sciences and Cultural Studies (Department 03) of Justus Liebig University of Gießen. The programme focuses on the analysis of society, its various sub-areas and their structures, conditions and developments as well as their interactions with the actions of individual actors.

Key questions include:
- How and why do social/political structures arise?
- How are they changing?
- How do they affect actors and how do actors affect structures?

While sociology examines these key questions with regard to society as a whole and individual sub-areas such as family, gender or work organisations, political science examines these with regard to the political order of societies in general and in individual policy areas such as domestic, foreign or economic policy.
