• Personal development: The program promotes the development of your interpersonal skills through targeted workshops on social skills and personal values as well as individual coaching.

Studying abroad

The "Transformation – Sustainability – Ethics" program attaches great importance to students being able to continuously test and reflect on their interdisciplinary knowledge and their own project ideas in practical contexts. This also includes the opportunity to complete internships and practical semesters abroad.

International experience not only broadens your personal horizons and improves your intercultural skills, it also enables you to better understand the complex interdependencies of a globalized world. Global learning and international solidarity in particular are crucial prerequisites for a successful transformation towards sustainability.

The KU Student Advisory Service and the International Office are there to support you throughout your studies in planning and organizing your stay abroad – for example at one of more than 300 partner universities worldwide. The International Internships Service offers support tailored specifically to your needs when it comes to finding international internships.

Practical connection

A key component of the innovative study concept is the close link between science and practice. Active participation in transformation projects and the independent implementation of a transformation project are therefore integral parts of the practice-oriented course.

The program also firmly integrates various internships, guaranteeing continuous practical relevance and a clear career orientation. Required internships include work placements in the orientation year, in the core study phase and in the practical semester. They offer you the opportunity to gain practical experience and develop your professional skills in a targeted manner. In addition, there are regular courses with experts from practical fields who offer insights into current professions and practical contexts.

The Bachelor's degree program prepares you for a wide range of professional fields in which you can contribute to sustainable and future-oriented social development. Thus, a central field of activity is supporting and shaping transformation processes in municipalities, educational institutions, NGOs, church institutions and civil society initiatives.

Graduates of the course therefore have the opportunity (depending on their choice of specialization) to work in the following areas:

• Sustainability management in municipalities, companies and organizations
• Educational and advisory institutions in the field of socio-ecological education
• Development cooperation, civil society initiatives and NGOs in the field of sustainable development
• Church institutions and congregations in the field of applied theology
