In social sciences, the focus is on communication science. With its interdisciplinary profile, the Faculty has a broad spectrum of research activities.

Excellence and Interdisciplinarity as Strategic Goals

The strategic goal in research is to promote excellence, interdisciplinarity, and internationality. In intra- and interdisciplinary cooperative projects, our scientists work on substantial, excellent contributions to fundamental and applied scientific questions in national and international contexts.

The Faculty thereby places great importance on strategic alliances and international cooperation with universities and non-university research institutions, public supporters, and businesses.

Research Areas

Since 2017, the Faculty set up several research areas in a structured bottom-up selection process. The aim of the three-year funding programs is to strengthen the cooperation of researchers within the Faculty and achieve successful third-party funding.
