Academic Research

first cycle, Bachelor

The students develop a basic understanding of academic research and hermeneutic procedures. They are able to understand and apply fundamental concepts and theories (and the corresponding empirical findings) of the theory of science, of knowledge acquisition and of the writing of knowledge, and to reflect on them against the background of a later career. They are able to understand technical texts and to integrate them into their body of knowledge in order to shape their later professional activity in a target group-specific and socially legitimate way. They are enabled to work on interdisciplinary tasks or questions and to present solutions.
