Social Sciences
The Faculty of Social Sciences is made up of four institutes: the Institute of Sociology and the Institute of Political Science are among the largest university institutes in their respective disciplines in Germany. They work alongside two social science research institutes: the Institute for Work, Skills and Training (IAQ), which conducts internationally recognised research on work and education, and the Institute for Development and Peace (INEF), which is the only German research institute working on issues at the interface between peace and development. All four are strong research institutions and are closely interconnected through an array of research activities.
