About the study program
The minor in Sustainability Studies consists of three parts: the basic modules, the Sustainability Studies project and a specialization module. What makes us unique in Kassel are the options available:
You may choose from a portfolio of 29 specializations.
Here is an introduction to the science of sustainability: What are the concepts, understandings and terms of sustainability? Which basic methods of sustainability research are important for interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary cooperation?
Students can choose a specialization from a total of 29 specializations.
Each specialization deals with questions of sustainability from a specific "specialist perspective" - i.e. a particular discipline (e.g. from a technical perspective or a political perspective etc.) or a specific area of application (e.g. IT). You will find information on the individual focus areas linked below. We recommend that you click on some of the focal points to get a better idea of them.
