Teaching of the Chair of Technology and Organization

 

Our goals as teachers

  1. Excellent and attractive instruction for motivated students
  2. High practical orientation due to excursions and work shadowing at our practice partners, among other things
  3. Insights into current research (the subject matter of our research projects is also used for our practical seminars)
  4. A good mix of mandatory curriculum and individual prioritization/specialization
  5. Guidance regarding career prospects
  6. Final papers with interesting topics and good support, also in cooperation with companies
 

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 Technology
  • Futures Studies and Innovation Research
  • Gender and Technology Studies
  • 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.

What Our Students Say

John Temitayo Aliu Copyright: © private
I particularly enjoyed the introductory lecture on technical sociology at the Chair of Sociology of Technology and Organization, because I learned exactly what topics and functions technical sociology includes. I also enjoyed the seminar "Networks through Digitalization in Organization," as this was the first time I could apply theory to practice. Furthermore, I want to emphasize how all of the lecturers I've met at the Chair have made a very personable impression and are easy to contact with questions even outside of office hours.

The field Sociology of Technology and Organization at RWTH Aachen is one of the most exciting fields in the sociology Master's course of study. The field not only addresses the most current developments in society but also offers students the possibility to apply theory to practice. The field is particularly attractive in that the seminars offer initial contact to companies in the region, allowing students to gain experience in the real working world.
