BA/BS in Soziologie

This Bachelor of Arts in sociology is offered by the Fakultät für Sozialwissenschaften and taught in German and English. It examines how societies work and how inequality arises, using theory and empirical methods. The programme includes a practice module that introduces possible careers for sociologists, together with a twelve-week internship that can be done in the lecture-free period or partly alongside teaching. A stay abroad is optional but recommended, ideally in the fourth or fifth semester, and the faculty keeps cooperation agreements with partner universities. Graduates may continue with Master options in sociology, political science or data science. Teaching begins in September, and non-EU students pay an additional tuition fee per semester. The programme is delivered on campus in Mannheim as a full-time course of study at a public university. Applicants should check the current application periods and selection rules on the university pages before applying.
