The study program includes a wide range of academic courses in the technology-related focal points of sociological research at RWTH Aachen University, such as

- Sociology of Organization
In addition, you will be taught in the two fundamental competence areas of “Sociological Theory Development” and “Methods of Empirical Social Sciences”. On this foundation, you will learn how to measure, in a methodically controlled way, the dynamic interrelation between technology and society and how to theoretically reflect on your findings.
