You can not choose between two study subjects? Then study both. The strength of our consecutive master is the additional qualification through a secondary subject. You would like to work at the interface between business and politics with focus in China? The possible study combination would be political science (HF), economics or business economics (small NF) and sinology (small NF). Are you interested in an academic career? You choose political science (HF) and philosophy (big NF). Do you want to get into the policy advice? You are studying Political Science (HF), Journalism (small NF) and Sociology (small NF). The combination options are almost unrestricted (depending on BA background) (see here).
No matter what direction you take, the core of our Master's is a broadly based methodology. This comes directly to the application by our strong focus on the research in close cooperation with the professors.
