Annotation

Be prepared to recognise, discuss and independently design complex topics of our time such as environmental awareness, climate change, social justice and responsibility, resource conservation, digitalisation, fairness and biodiversity. To this end, you will acquire basic skills and working techniques in the humanities and cultural sciences in order to use them specifically for sustainability topics. Learn more about how language works and its function as an instrument of power. You can flexibly design your studies according to your interests and thus better understand and actively shape the sustainable development of our world. Choose from over 20 modules on sustainability and deepen your knowledge in topics such as crisis communication, social participation or cultural norms and values. A special feature of the degree course at the University of Kassel is the combination of current sustainability topics with humanities and cultural studies approaches, which allow you to analyse and shape sustainability topics at different levels. Through practice-oriented projects, you can apply what you have learned directly and make a concrete contribution to sustainable communication.
