1 Economics with social sciences

Economics with social sciences is a multidisciplinary programme, combining economics with

political science or sociology and social psychology (depending on individual choice).

Economics is a subset of economic science. It is concerned with macroeconomic conditions

and processes and examines, for example, how private households react to rising prices or

how companies respond to higher non-wage labour costs. It deals with the socially relevant,

fundamental problem of how scarce production facilities and resources should be managed

and proposes solutions. The Bachelor in Economics programme gives students the necessary

knowledge and skills to be able to systematically describe economic problems and identify

solutions for them.

Political science examines political processes from the theoretical and empirical perspective

in the (sub)national, European and international context. Sociological studies look at the social

interrelationships within and between communities, societies and organisations. Social psy-

chology deals with how humans are experienced and behave in the social context.

The Bachelor in Economics with Social Science programme gives students the necessary skill-

set to be able to produce analyses, based on the methods and theory they have learned, on

the interplay between the economy and politics or between the economy and society. They

are also able to provide recommendations and assessments on the functioning of markets and

the political or sociological prerequisites for and repercussions of them.

1.1 Content and objectives of the programme

Graduates of the Economics with Social Sciences programme have skills that enable them to

work in public-sector organisations, in social and political interest groups and in private-sector

businesses. Potential jobs for these graduates require an ability to perform independent anal-

ysis of the interaction between the economy and politics or between the economy and society.

Potential employers are looking for individuals capable of analysing how markets and systems

of market regulation work and the conditions required for them to work, using established

methods based on economic theory and econometrics. Depending on their specialisation, they

should also be able to take into account in their analysis the relevant institutional framework

for political decisions concerning reform proposals or to estimate from a sociological perspec-

tive the socioeconomic impact of market regulation in a society. A further aim of the programme

is to enable graduates to go on to take a master programme in Economics and Political Sci-

ence/Sociology. Graduates have a strong knowledge of fundamental concepts and methods

used in Economics and in Political Science or Sociology. A specific outcome is that they are

able to combine economic and social scientific analyses. They have a strong knowledge of the

vocabulary and the fundamental analytical methods used in economics and in their other cho-

sen field and are familiar with the relevant institutions. Their methodical skills enable them to


8

critically appraise theoretical, econometric and social scientific studies and evaluations. Their

solid education in economics means they have the necessary knowledge to be able to assess

economic problems and challenges in the areas in which they work. With their concentration

on Political Science or Sociology, they are able to combine the economic perspective with a

political or sociological viewpoint. As a result, graduates can produce analyses, based on the

methods and theory they have learned, on the interplay between the economy and politics or

between the economy and society. They are also able to provide recommendations and as-

sessments on the functioning of markets and the political or sociological prerequisites for and

repercussions of them.

1.2 Requirements

Successful students will have the following subject-related, methodical and personal strengths

and aptitudes:

good mathematical and analytical skills,

ability to think abstractly and conceptually,

good communication skills in German and English,

ability to perform independent, goal-driven and result-oriented work and

a keen interest in economic issues.

Students with unsufficient knowledge in mathematics (e.g. only basic course in high school)

are recommended to attend a preparatory module in mathematics which is offered blocked

before the regular lectures begin. For further information, have a look in the corresponding

module description.

1.3 Program structure and sequence

The Bachelor in Economics with Social Sciences programme carries 180 credit points (CPs).

The standard period of study is six terms and the programme comprises the following subject

categories: The core and advanced category (84 CPs) consists of modules on fundamental

economics and methods, all of which are compulsory. The supplementary category (42 CPs)

comprises political science, sociology and social research modules. Students are required to

choose either the political science or the sociology and social research modules. They then

take the “Studium Integrale” (12 CPs). The specialisation category (30 CPs) consists of two

specialisation modules and the bachelor’s seminar. Students then complete the programme

by writing their bachelor thesis (12 CPs).

1.4 Study Abroad Option

The WiSo Faculty offers a broad range of study abroad options within an excellent network of

prestigious partner universities worldwide. The so-called Study Abroad Programme (STAP)

includes ERASMUS exchanges and provides an opportunity for a single-term stay at one of

the WiSo Faculty's partner universities. Successful STAP applicants benefit from direct contact

and organisational support at the partner university and are exempt from paying tuition fees

there. The range of universities available depends on the bachelor course on which the student

is enrolled – the possible options are listed in the WiSo EXchange (WEX) International Out-

goings Portal (access through the student's UoC account only), along with detailed infor-

mation on each university. Every year, in addition to the STAP programme, the WiSo Faculty

https://wex-outgoings-wiso.uni-koeln.de/login/auth

https://wex-outgoings-wiso.uni-koeln.de/login/auth


10

organises an exclusive short-term study option WiSo@NYC which takes place in New York

City.

In addition to these options offered by the Faculty, bachelor students can also apply for a non-

WiSo exchange, offered by Dezernat 9 – Internationales (Central International Office of the

University of Cologne) within the ‘fakultätsübergreifende Partnerschaften’ framework. Further

possibilities are going abroad as a freemover (i.e. as a student who organises his or her stay

abroad individually) or participating in short courses or summer schools offered under separate

terms and conditions.

For all study abroad options and opportunities, the International Relations Center (ZIB WiSo)

serves as point of information and advice.

1.4.1 The Faculty’s Study Abroad Programme (STAP)

Bachelor students should plan their application for a term abroad at the beginning of their

bachelor course. The STAP main selection round takes place once a year with application

deadline December 1st and allows for an application either for fall term or spring term of the

following academic year. Detailed information on the selection criteria and the best preparation

for a STAP application can be found online in the STAP Bachelor Application Manual. If a

certain number of slots are still available for spring term, a secondary STAP selection round

will be offered in May, with a limited choice of exchange opportunities.

11

1.4.2 Credit transfer options from studies abroad:

The WiSo Faculty has put a lot of emphasis on internationalisation in the design of its bachelor

programmes, offering broad credit transfer options for all kinds of study abroad options. Each

bachelor course includes at least one "Studies Abroad" module, with a broad range of courses

suitable for credit transfer. In addition, a single course-to-course credit transfer can be consid-

ered. For more information on credit transfer rules and regulations, please go to WiSo Credit

Transfer Center > Information > Studies Abroad. For any questions regarding credit transfer,

students can contact the ZIB WiSo or the WiSo Credit Transfer Center.

1.5 Module study plan sequence

Note: In later terms you need to plan your studies more and more individually. This is caused

for example by the fact that some specialization modules cannot be finished within one term.

Furthermore, the bachelor’s seminar is closely connected with the bachelor thesis in some

areas and needs to be completed in the same term. Thus, the following sequences are only

recommendations, from which you can or have to diverge depending on your individual study

plan.

1.5.1 Study plans including a semester abroad

a) Study Direction: Political Science

The fifth semester is mostly suitable for studying abroad.

Given the model study plan sequence it should be noted that the Advanced Module Quantita-

tive Methods is only offered in winter terms.

In view of the model study plan sequence and the credit transfer options in the specialization

section (12 CP) as well as in the Studium Integrale (12 CP) the two parts of the Studium Inte-

grale should be positioned in the fifth semester in the case of an exemplary stay abroad. The

Advanced Module Institutions can be positioned in the third semester and the Advanced Mod-

ule International and Monetary Economics can be moved to the sixth semester. The Bachelor’s

Seminar is to be planned according to the individual curriculum.

b) Study Direction: Sociology

The fifth semester is mostly suitable for studying abroad.

Given the model study plan sequence it should be noted that the Advanced Module Quantita-

tive Methods is only offered in winter terms.

In view of the model study plan sequence and the credit transfer options in the specialization

section (12 CP) as well as in the Studium Integrale (12 CP) the two parts of the Studium Inte-

grale should be positioned in the fifth semester in the case of an exemplary stay abroad. The

Advanced Module Institutions can be positioned in the third semester and the Supplementary

Module Seminar Sociology can be moved to the sixth or third respectively fourth semester.

The Bachelor’s Seminar is to be planned according to the individual curriculum.

c) General remarks

For questions about studying abroad the ZIB WiSo is at your disposal.

Additionally, it is always possible not to request a semester on leave (Urlaubssemester) if you

spend a semester abroad such that examinations can be taken upon return to the University

of Cologne (if it is individually feasible).

1.6 Modules with mid-term examinations

Some modules have courses that only run for half a term but with twice the normal number of

classes. For these modules, the term is divided into two roughly equal halves. In the fall, the

mid-term usually ends at the beginning of December; in the spring, it is usually in the middle

or at the end of May. Often, the examinations for these courses are held mid-term, enabling

students to reduce their examination load at the end of term.

https://www.international.wiso.uni-koeln.de/


15

1.7 Calculation of the overall mark

The marks for each examination are determined by the respective examiners. The overall mark

for the bachelor degree combines the marks for the various sub-categories, weighted based

on the respective number of credit points attainable and each sub-category’s contribution to-

wards the overall mark for the examinations for which marks are given. The marks for the sub-

categories are calculated as the mean of the examination results in line with the weighting for

each examination in terms of the credit points it contributes to the overall mark for the exami-

nations in the respective category for which marks are given. If the result of a module exami-

nation is calculated based on several components, the mark is calculated based on a weighting

given in the module description. The overall mark for the degree is calculated as the weighted

arithmetic mean of the marks for the subject categories and the mark for the bachelor thesis.

On the Economics with Social Sciences programme, the weighting for the contributions to the

overall mark are as follows:

a) Mark for core and advanced subjects: 84 of 168 CPs

b) Mark for supplementary subjects: 42 of 168 CPs

c) Mark for specialisations: 30 of 168 CPs

d) Mark for bachelor thesis: 12 of 168 CPs.

1.8 Modularity

The subject categories on the bachelor programmes are divided into modules, the contents of

which are presented in the module descriptions. The bachelor module catalogue can be viewed

in the download section of the WiSo Student Services (“WiSo-Studienberatungszentrum”)

website. Students who pass the necessary examinations are awarded credit points as proof of

their successful participation in a module. The module examinations are taken at regular inter-

vals during the programme. Each module consists of various parts and can usually be com-

pleted in one or two terms (see the “Duration” section in the module description). A module

can consist of lectures, exercises and/or tutorials on the same subject. There are also modules

that only comprise one type of class, e.g. a seminar. In some cases, modules offer students a

choice between various courses and they are required to take one or more of them. In these

cases, the examination can consist of two components (written test in course 1 and a term

paper in course 2) or take the form of one, combined examination (a written test covering the

content of courses 1 and 2).

When planning your studies, please remember that not every module is offered every term. To

find out whether a module is being offered, refer to the “Module availability” section of the

module description.

https://www.wiso.uni-koeln.de/de/studium/dokumente-und-medien/


16

Scenario 1: The module consists of complementary courses on the same subject.

Scenario 2: Students are required to take a combination of courses, each of which ends with

its own examination. The CPs are awarded once both examinations have been passed.


17

Scenario 3: Students take a combination of courses and at the end they sit one examination,

covering the content of all the courses, in order to gain their CPs.

1.9 Rules for failed attempts

Students may retake module examinations that they have failed. The number of attempts is

limited to three per module.

In addition, a further three resit attempts can be granted to students at any point of the

programme. If they wish to take additional resits, they must apply to do so in writing to the

WiSo Examination Office within three months of their examination result being announced. If

a student’s application is approved, the additional examination attempt must take place within

twelve months. Students who have accumulated at least 140 credit points are granted a further

additional attempt. If a student fails an examination in the three additional attempts and the

extra attempt for students with 140 points or more, they are deemed to have failed the

programme at the final attempt. However, students may only apply for additional attempts

beyond the initial three attempts if none of the first three examination attempts were failed due

to cheating or to an offence. We recommend all students who fail the initial three attempts to

seek advice from WiSo Student Services (“WiSo-Studienberatungszentrum”) before

embarking upon an additional attempt.

Where a module examination consists of several components, the candidate must obtain a

“bestanden” (pass) mark, or at least an “ausreichend (4,0)“ (sufficient) mark, in all of the ex-

amination components. All components marked “mangelhaft (5,0)” or “nicht bestanden” (fail)

must be retaken.


18

It is not possible to resit module examinations that have already been passed.

A failed bachelor thesis can be retaken once, with a new topic. Students must register for their

second attempt within six months of the result of their first attempt being announced.

1.10 Compulsory attendance of courses

The rules concerning compulsory attendance of courses are laid down in Section 64(2a) of the

“Hochschulzukunftsgesetz” (Higher Education Future Development Act). Consequently, the

rules concerning compulsory attendance laid down in WiSo Faculty’s examination regulations

no longer apply, which means that attendance is not compulsory for lectures or seminars.

Nonetheless, the WiSo Faculty does recommend students to attend courses regularly, partic-

ularly seminars. This is also in students’ own interests.

2 Support for students

2.1 Course occupancy in KLIPS 2.0

KLIPS 2.0 is the central campus management system of the University of Cologne. At the

WiSo faculty, KLIPS 2.0 serves as a student organization tool. Students should use it as an

online course catalog, for registration and deregistration of courses and examinations, as well

as an overview of the complete study programme and calendar. Information on current dates

and deadlines of the WiSo faculty, as well as video tutorials and FAQs about KLIPS can be

found on the homepage of WiSo-KLIPS-Support. If you have further questions, feel free to

contact WiSo-KLIPS-Support via e-mail ([email protected]). For account questions,

contact the central KLIPS support.

2.2 Exam registration in KLIPS 2.0

Examinations on the various programmes are always managed via KLIPS 2.0. Students must

register for them within specified deadlines. Please note that registration for courses via KLIPS

and registration for module examinations are two completely separate processes. Most exam-

inations in written test form are offered twice per term. Often, this will be to “space out” the

dates, i.e. so students can choose the date that best fits their examination schedule. In some

cases, however, the second examination may be a genuine repetition of the first, depending

on the department/institute concerned.

Access to examination papers: All WiSo Faculty examination candidates are entitled to see

their examination papers after they have been marked. For more information, please visit the

WiSo Examination Office website.

2.3 Subject-specific advice and examination advice

General advice for students, especially regarding study options and programme requirements,

is available from WiSo Student Services (“WiSo-Studienberatungszentrum”) for all pro-

grammes at the WiSo Faculty. The Student Services centre also offers subject-specific recom-

mendations for students’ study plans for the first semester plus information on how the individ-

ual programmes are structured. The WiSo Student Services is also the first place students

should turn to if they have any other questions or problems concerning their studies. The centre

can be contacted by telephone, in person or by email. The opening hours and contact data

can be found on the corresponding webpage.

Subject-specific advice is provided during the designated times by the University’s faculty

members and associated teaching staff (“akademische Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter”) in-

volved in the teaching on the programme. The designated times are announced by means of

notices in the institutes and on the departments’/institutes’ websites.

Legally binding information concerning examinations and examination procedures is provided

by the WiSo Faculty Examination Offices. These offices also issue transcripts of records in

German and English, ranking certificates and letters of assignment to the appropriate term of

the programme. All the necessary information, contact details and opening hours can be found

on the corresponding webpage.

2.4 Academic Working

To support the academic writing of term and final papers, the University of Cologne offers

various courses to practice the process of academic writing by students. These include:

a) Writing advice/consultation

The Kompetenzzentrum Schreiben, the Professional Center, the Kölner Studierendenwerk and

the programme SchreibArt offer advice as well as courses related to the issues that arise

when writing an academic paper.

b) Literature research

The university library offers various courses especially for researching literature.

c) Text processing and literature administration

The Regionales Rechenzentrum provides courses regarding text processing and literature ad-

ministration.

Students can register for the courses of the Professional Center and the SchreibArt programme

via KLIPS 2.0. There are even more offers made by the WiSo-faculty that can be elected in

the Studium Integrale. Therefore, these courses can be credited for your studies.

2.5 Other sources of information and advice

International students who study at the WiSo Faculty for part of their programme can turn to

the International Relations Center (“Zentrum für Internationale Beziehungen” or “ZIB”)

for help with any questions they have. Cologne University students preparing to study abroad

can also contact the ZIB for support. The Center also runs a variety of summer schools, short

programmes and Business English courses. The services, courses and people to contact can

be found on the corresponding webpage.

The Faculty’s Credit Transfer Centre (“Zentrum für die Anrechnung auswärtiger Leis-

tungen”) is responsible for recognising credits accumulated in other institutions. This applies

both to credits students have gained at other higher education institutions in Germany or

abroad prior to studying at the WiSo Faculty, and to (advance) transfer of credits that students

plan to accumulate abroad or have already accumulated abroad as part of a WiSo Faculty

programme. This system does away with the need to make individual inquiries to depart-

ments/institutes and examination offices. Students can find out everything they need to know

about the transfer process on the corresponding webpage.

The WiSo Career Service offers advice and support for students from the WiSo Faculty look-

ing for an internship or profession that is right for them. It also helps them as they plan their

career and apply for jobs. In addition, the WiSo Career Service organises seminars, presenta-

tions and special events in cooperation with employers and external and internal experts. It

also works with other partners in the Faculty and the University to support and guide students

as they decide on a career path.

The WiSo IT Service runs regular courses dealing with standard software and field-specific

programs.

“Studium Integrale”, in which students accumulate 12 credit points. The “Studium Integrale”

has both theoretical and practical content, enabling students to focus on more academic as-

pects or topics related to their future careers and intended to enhance their employability. It

aims to teach and develop skills that go beyond subject-specific knowledge or that are related

to basic academic and personal traits: scientific curiosity, systematic and analytical thinking,

ability to deal with complexity, a solution-minded outlook plus other abilities such as teamwork

and foreign language skills.

The “Studium Integrale” courses are run jointly by the faculties and the University’s Profes-

sional Center. They enable students to pursue their own interests in more depth, gain an insight

into other subjects and departments, attend courses dealing with issues of relevance to soci-

ety, acquire skills relevant to their future careers and attend language classes. The “Universi-

tas“ segment offers formats especially designed for the “Studium Integrale”, such as lecture

series on societal issues with related workshops. In addition, the “Studium Integrale” offers

students assistance with their learning and studying, helping them with such questions as how

to write an academic paper or how to conduct literature reviews. Periods of training abroad

and work experience can also be credited in the “Studium Integrale”. The “Studium Integrale”


23

carries 12 credit points in total and formally counts as a module. There is no restriction on the

number of attempts possible for “Studium Integrale” examinations.

Any credit points attained in the “Studium Integrale” over and above the 12 credit points spec-

ified are shown on the diploma supplement.

3.5 Bachelor Thesis

The bachelor thesis carries 12 CPs and is written at the end of the programme. Its aim is to

illustrate that the candidate is capable of working and reflecting independently on a specific

problem related to the subject matter covered on the programme, using the necessary meth-

ods and within a specified period. On the Economics programme, the topic of the bachelor

thesis must reflect economic methods learned during the programme. Group bachelor theses

can also be permitted if a clear distinction between and assessment of each candidate’s con-

tribution is possible. Objective criteria that make a clear distinction possible, such as sections,

page numbers or topics, are used to indicate which student made which contribution. The total

workload required for a group thesis must exceed that required for an individual bachelor theis

to an appropriate extent.

The total workload required of each group member must exceed the requirements for individual

bachelor theses to an appropriate extent. The difficulty and content of a group thesis must

meet the same requirements as for theses undertaken individually and independently. The

contribution made by each individual must meet the requirements for bachelor theses.

To be allowed to register for the bachelor thesis component, candidates must have acquired at

least 100 credit points. In line with the number of credit points it carries, the workload allotted

for the thesis is 360 hours, i.e. 12 weeks. Bachelor theses should not be more than 40 pages

long. Candidates who have earned all of the necessary credit points, except for the bachelor

thesis, must register within a period of one year to write their bachelor thesis. Further and more

detailed information concerning bachelor theses can be found in the examination regulations.

2 Module content a) Applied methods of survey research: • Data-collection methods and tools (web surveys, experiments, quasi experiments,

etc.) • Sampling frames and techniques

• Unit/item non-response

• Weighting and imputation

• Research practice and research ethics

b) Practical seminar in sociology: • Students develop knowledge of the state of theoretical and empirical research in spe-

cific sociologies depending on the parts of the job market covered in the seminar.

These range from organisational and economic sociology to social demographics and

urban sociology and/or comprise an empirical research project with data collection

and/or computer-based data analysis, source evaluation and formulation of findings.

3 Learning objectives Students... ...are familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of different survey methods and

their impact on survey findings. ...know how sampling frames and techniques influence sample quality. ...can judge which mechanisms result in unit/item non-response and are familiar with

methods to minimise non-response. ...are familiar with the different types of weighting and can judge whether they are nec-

essary and whether they can improve the quality of the data collected. ...are introduced to two alternative and complementary approaches to sociological work

in practice. The first is practical application of sociological knowledge in specific profes-

sional contexts. Students identify the relationship between theory and practice in the so-

cial sciences. The aim is for them to see for themselves how sociological knowledge is

applied in practice. They gain insights into the job market and sociologists’ work. There

are field trips to partner institutions and businesses, representatives of the field are in-

vited to the seminar and expert interviews are conducted. The second approach is prac-

tical use of sociological knowledge in the context of empirical research questions to be

worked on by the students themselves. They plan an empirical research project or a

secondary analysis and formulate research designs or analytical strategies and opera-

tionalise them independently. They apply data collection or secondary analysis and

source evaluation techniques. Students analyse the data using a computer programme


66

for data analysis (e.g. STATA, SPSS, R etc.). They formulate findings and communi-

cate them in their own presentation and in a study/term paper. They review questions

and hypotheses using the empirical findings obtained.

2 Module content 'Topics in Public Economics' and associated seminar: • Direct and indirect taxation

• Distribution policy

• Social security

• Public goods

'Public finance in political practice' and associated seminar: The course delivers basic knowledge and assessment criteria for scientifically sound

advice on budget and fiscal policy. • Financial policy advice in the light of the “Werturteilsstreit” (German for “value judge-

ment dispute”)

• Fiscal policy seen as welfare policy

• Macroeconomic role of fiscal policy

• Fiscal policy seen as interpersonal and intergenerational distribution policy

• Fiscal policy seen as social policy with a steering effect (merit goods, nudging, etc.)

• Fiscal policy and rent seeking

• New political economics of public finance

• Budgetary institutions in Germany and reform thereof

• Other fiscal institutions in Germany and reform thereof

There is some controversy with regard to the influence economic advice has on how

policy instruments are designed. The influence of economic expertise in fiscal policy is,

by nature, limited but it is tangible. Economic literature puts the focus on expert opin-

ions and special reports; these are usually meant to deliver specific input for instrument

and institution design. In the seminars, the students will analyse expert opinions/reports

issued by key or particularly interesting players in scientific policy advice.

3 Learning objectives Students... ... examine current financial issues and their illustration in formal economic models in

the Topics in Public Economics course. ... gain more in-depth knowledge of established and more recent findings of research in

the field of finance. ... apply common formal methods that are suitable for solving a wide range of financial

issues. ... are introduced to the possibilities and limitations of state intervention in various ar-

eas, particularly with regard to information problems.


81

... identify various levels of value judgements in economic analysis and policy assess-

ment in the course 'Public finance in political practice'. ... identify and consider conflicting requirements on the practical design of fiscal policy. ... apply new fiscal or social policy objectives to the existing institutional framework for

fiscal policy and discuss their feasibility. ... have a solid knowledge of the main institutions of the financial system and fiscal pol-

icy practice. ... develop, based on that knowledge, the ability to judge the relevance and feasibility of

fiscal proposals.

2 Module content The lectures give an overview of various theories that attempt to explain solidarity-

based self-help, presenting the basic principles of solidarity-based enterprise plus con-

cepts and theories used to analyse specific problems related to cooperatives. This pro-

vides an outline of the fundamental problems involved in solidarity-based enterprise ac-

cording to cooperative principles is given. The main focus is on the Third Sector as well

as non-profit organisations engaged in solidarity-based economic activity. Rather than

solely regarding the micro-economic level, the students will also consider the contribu-

tions cooperatives make to the economic and social development of social

groups/countries/societies. The methods applied hail from disciplines such as business

administration, economics, sociology, political science, history and law. The seminars provide more in-depth knowledge on fundamental and current specifics

of solidarity-based economic/business forms.

3 Learning objectives Students... ... outline the major theoretical and practical aspects of solidarity-based enterprise in

Germany, Europe, and developing countries. ... focus on cooperatives, a type (and legal form) of enterprise run by its members in

their interest. ... describe collective/cooperative/solidarity-based self-help practised in cooperatives as

opposed to individual self-help or help by third parties (foremost the state), as well as

about the fundamental principles and specific structural features of a cooperative. ... discuss the function as a business structurally and legally mandated to support its

members, a democratic constitution is a key characteristic of any cooperative and con-

sider the roles of members as owners as well as “users” (customers or suppliers) of the

cooperative. ... analyze the cooperative principles and characteristics which create a fundamentally

different type of enterprise. ... assess the potentials for using cooperatives or other forms of cooperation in different

regulatory environments. ... evaluate potential and empirical contributions of solidarity-based forms of enterprise

to the economic, social and cultural development at the macro and micro levels, e.g.

using the concept of empowerment. ... prepare for their bachelor thesis by writing term papers for the seminar and practise

writing texts on their own, as well as giving presentations. ... work on tasks efficiently and in a limited amount of time using their acquired

knowledge.

hours a) 30h b) 30h



2 Module content • Fundamental ontology, philosophical and theological anthropology, transactionalism,

economic welfare theory and criticism thereof, legal philosophy of public services, the-

ory of the third sector and forms of civic engagement, theory of cooperatives from the

perspective of the anthropology of giving and reciprocity, intervention theory, basic

characteristics of the institutional architecture of welfare policy. • Anthropology and ethics of personhood, legal philosophy of inclusion, basic charac-

teristics of multi-dimensional social morphology in modern society, theory of integrated

health care and social structures, research findings on issues of socio-physical network

formation, of transsectoral multi-disciplinarity, theory and practice of de-institutionalisa-

tion from an economic, legal and psychodynamic perspective.

3 Learning objectives Students... ...define social policy as an interdisciplinary combination of Lebenslagen- und Le-ben-

slaufperspektive. ...use this basis to identify a theory of sociopolitical intervention and compare it with a

morphology-based multi-sector theory of welfare production. ...reflect on and understand how social policy is seen from the perspective of fundamen-

tal ontology, ontotheology and philosophical anthropology, focusing on theories of dia-

logical personalism. ...differentiate different aspects of the change happening in the social morphology of

modern society (demographic, epidemiological, socio-structural, etc. change) and the

emergence of complex needs (chronic disease, multimorbidity, need for assistance or

care, cognitive impairments, weak networks, need for psychosocial support or counsel-

ling, etc.) and thus recognise the benefits of considering transsectoral and multidiscipli-

nary networks from a sociophysical perspective.
