Politics & Society

For anyone who wants to understand how societies function — and why they sometimes fail. The Bachelor's degree program combines Political Science and Sociology with five specialization tracks and the option to choose between an international or research-oriented focus.

Two countries, two perspectives, one degree. This bi-national degree program combines Political Science at the KU with a study abroad semester in France — at an Institut d'Études Politiques — and prepares students for careers in European and international contexts.

Latin America is one of the most dynamic regions in the world. This interdisciplinary degree program combines history, political science, geography, linguistics, and literary studies with intensive language courses in Spanish and Portuguese.

For people who want to understand why societies are the way they are. Sociology in the Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s program at the KU can be freely combined with other subjects — for a degree program that examines social structures from multiple perspectives.

Politics happens everywhere — and if you want to understand it, you need more than one perspective. The Political Science track in the Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s program at the KU can be freely combined with other disciplines.

If you want to understand the present, you must know the past. The History track in the Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s program at the KU can be combined with other subjects — for a degree program that integrates historical thinking with current social issues.

Geopolitics, international law, diplomacy — the Master's degree program in International Relations at the KU combines Political Science, History, and Sociology with an optional specialization in European Studies in Fribourg (Switzerland), taught in German and English.

Understanding conflict, shaping peace. This bi-national Master's program — taught in English and Spanish, with one year in Eichstätt and one year in Bogotá — provides analytical and practical skills in peace and conflict studies and leads to a double degree.

Migration is one of the most significant social challenges of our time. This Interdisciplinary Master's program integrates political, legal, social, and cultural perspectives on displacement and migration —preparing students for careers in both practice and research.
