Faculty of History and Social Science
The Faculty of History and Social Sciences (GGF) is one of the traditional, interdisciplinary and internationally oriented faculties of the KU. About 15 professors and numerous research associates ensure excellent supervision of the approximately 450 students (as of June 2020).
The Otto von Freising visiting professorship and the Görres research center of the Görres Society are located at the GGF. In the past, the German constitutional and tax law expert and former federal constitutional judge Prof. Dr. Dres. h. c. Paul Kirchhof and the German architectural historian Prof. Dr. Winfried Nerdinger have already enriched the faculty’s teaching practice as visiting professors. In addition, the GGF has awarded honorary doctorates to several renowned scientists, including Sir Karl R. Popper and Prof. Dr. Ulrich Beck.
The Maximilian Kocher M. A. Foundation as well as the Professor Sutor Foundation also support research projects or Master’s theses and doctoral theses.
