Modern societies are subject to constant processes of change. Why, in what ways and by whom processes of social change take place are among the fundamental questions of social science that the programme wants to address.
Societies are changing faster than ever before. Digitalisation, climate change, migration movements, the erosion of democratic institutions in various countries, and growing global social inequality are just some of the key topics that will be addressed throughout your studies.
"Change" entails both opportunities and risks simultaneously, e.g. the emergence of global institutions has consequences for democracy and governance on the level of the nation state, a globalised culture provokes processes of renationalisation and refundamentalisation of nation-state societies, etc.
The BA Social Sciences: Social and Political Change programme is driven by the conviction that the interactions of dynamic societies beg explorations through interdisciplinary understandings of political science and sociology. This makes the programme the first undergraduate Bachelor's in the social sciences in Germany that upholds this particular interdisciplinary perspective.
Semesters 1 and 2: basic phase
Semesters 3 and 4: research-oriented phase + in-depth knowledge
Semesters 5 and 6: mobility and end of the degree
In the fifth semester, students go abroad for one semester. During this time, students attend 15 LP courses from the fields of policy field analysis, political sociology and special sociologies as well as 15 LP elective modules from other social science disciplines (such as anthropology, geography, economics, media studies, or law), which reflect social and societal change processes in the broadest sense.
M16 "Profession & Outlook", gives students the opportunity to either take on a practical academic task of organising an academic event (Sub-Module 1) or to complete an eight-week professional internship (Sub-Module 2).
Students must pay a matriculation fee of 25 EUR when enrolling plus a semester contribution each semester, both paid to the Studentenwerk. The semester contribution fee may vary (for exact amount please click here, tab semester re-enrolment). This fee covers some expenses of the Studentenwerk, the student administration (AStA) and the public transport within the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the city of Hamburg.
The cost of living is generally slightly lower than in major German cities. A budget of 600 to 700 EUR per month should cover the basic cost of living, including rent.

Situated in the German-Danish border region, Germany's northernmost university is a young university. Founded in 1946 by the British, it was awarded university status in 2000. Since 2014 it has been known as "Europa-Universität". In 2017 the EUF adapted its semester times internationally: In the spring semester the lecture period runs from March to June, and in the fall semester from September to December. With around 6,300 students it is a comparatively small university. Young people from around 90 nations study on the Flensburg campus.
The main study programmes focus on educational science and interdisciplinary European studies as well as on environmental sciences/sustainable development.
The location in the border region is ideal for a university with a mission to live the European dream of intercultural encounters and explore its reality. For almost 30 years, Europa-Universität Flensburg and Danish Syddansk Universitet have been working closely together. Their double degree courses in economics offer students the opportunity to obtain degrees from both universities simultaneously.
The region is characterised by beaches, wind, and the sea. Situated directly on the fjord, with its impressive old buildings, low rent, a lively cultural scene, and close proximity to Scandinavia, Flensburg offers excellent living and studying conditions.
The city of Flensburg is characterised by its waterside location and by the immediate proximity of its neighbouring country, Denmark. Located at the northernmost point in Germany, the city of Flensburg is the gateway to Scandinavia. It is only a few miles drive to the Danish border; the Kingdom of Denmark is located even closer to Flensburg than Husum or Kiel and it can actually be seen from the beach at Wassersleben.
The campus is located about two kilometres from the city centre. Approximately one in ten residents of Flensburg is enrolled at Europa-Universität Flensburg or at the University of Applied Sciences. This is noticeable particularly during the summer months, when there is a lively atmosphere in this university town. As soon as the cold days are over and the last lectures have ended, students meet at the beach or at the place to be in the harbour, the "Hafenspitze".
Whether it's the reflecting water, the sail boats rocking gently in the waves, the sunset or the fact that there is always someone you know - everyone likes the heart of Flensburg.
Away from the water, Flensburg's historical city centre and its identity, developed over many centuries, is one of the landmarks of the city. Spared attacks in times of war, Art Nouveau style houses and old villas can be found everywhere in the city. Its small streets are home to cafés, numerous courtyards, rum producers, a wide pedestrian zone, harbour pubs, and several beaches.
