What is special about TU Braunschweig?

Individual support

Excellent study conditions await you in the Social Sciences programme: From the very beginning, you will socialise with teaching staff and other students during excursions, tutorials and through intensive individual support. You will benefit from the advantages of a relatively small degree programme and the favourable ratio of teaching staff to students. Our campus and the institute library are excellently equipped.

Ready for practice

Due to many optional modules, you can set your own focus in your studies, depending on your interests. Important key qualifications are taught in courses in the areas of “Methods of Qualitative and Quantitative Social Research” and “Communication”. Early on, you will also get the opportunity to gain experience in possible occupational fields, as an internship is integrated into the degree programme.
