Pflichtfächer, Science Communication, The aim of the course is, on the one hand, to create awareness about the importance of an understandable and effective writing style for internal and external scientific communication: Comprehensible technical texts facilitate communication between researchers. This is particularly important in inter- and transdisciplinary settings. In addition, they also increase acceptance and improve the reception of external science communication. On the other hand, practical writing skills should also be consolidated in this module. , 4.0, Research Design and Research Literacy, The aim of the course is to fundamentally introduce students to the planning and design of research projects and the individual considerations necessary for this . Students learn to critically reflect on the individual components of a research design and to integrate them into an overall concept . In doing so, existing knowledge about empirical social research is to be networked and the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches are to be discussed . , 4.0, Systems Theory and Socio-technical Change, This course is designed to give a sense of the range of topics associated with the field of systems theory and information systems (IS) and the ways in which the scope of the field has expanded in recent years. It aims to provide a range of the research approaches of systems theory and management of complexity that are analysed and used to study information systems and related phenomena. The scope of the field also includes aspects of globalisation and social and ethical issues in general. This is in addition to the development of organisational information systems and the use and impact of information and communication technologies within and between companies, which have been the core of the field of (management) information systems. , 4.0, Socio-technical Innovation for Cohesive Societies, The aim of the course is to enable a systemic understanding of socio-cognitive and socio-technical processes in order to bridge the gap from basic scientific theories to practical applications in industry.  Introduction to Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship  Theories and methods of collaborative creativity  Sustainable innovation systems  Theories and methods of systems science and social network analysis International Entrepreneurship  , 4.0, Computational Social Science , The aim of this course is to familiarise students with novel data technologies and data types as alternative research tools to understand and explain socio-cultural phenomena. These support the students in the course of their research design and the implementation of studies. A central element here is the area of scientific work ethics and data protection. With regard to the further content, this course deals specifically with the use of methods and tools in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP).   Introduction to Data Science as a core building block for scientific studies  Scientific work ethics and data protection  Topic Modelling and Word Embeddings for the analysis and interpretation of large text corpora  Machine Learning for model building for classifications (supervised vs. unsupervised)  Sentiment analysis for the analysis of social discourse  , 4.0, Doctrinal Legal Research and Case-based Methods, The aim of the course is to enable students to analyse legal questions or legal aspects that concern interdisciplinary research projects independently and in a methodologically justifiable manner. In-depth knowledge of jurisprudential methodology is imparted, starting from legal dogmatics, analysis of case law, comparative law, legal economics up to the integration of social science methods, especially in the context of an open or citizen science approach.  Legal dogmatics and classical methodology  Judicial analysis  Legal economics and critical legal theory  Comparative law  Empiricism and open science in jurisprudence  , 4.0, PhD-Kolloquium, The aim of the courses is to monitor the continuous progress of the students in their individual dissertation projects, to identify problems in good time and to be able to work out solutions together with the students. The students not only learn the necessary work processes for multi-year research projects, but are also enabled to engage in constructive discourse with their peers and mentors. In addition, students receive support in preparing dissemination activities for their project results, such as scientific presentations or publications.  Construction, planning and monitoring of multi-year research projects  Constructive and scientific peer review within the PhD cohort and beyond  Strategic dissemination of research results to the scientific community  , 12.0, Wahlfächer, Research Methods (Mixed Methods), The aim of the course is to introduce students to the "Third Paradigm" in the form of the "Mixed Methods" research approach in the field of social sciences and to enable them to apply it in their own research design.  Introduction to the research approach "Mixed Methods" Interaction of qualitative and quantitative methods using examples from different domains  Analysis of both potential strengths and biases in mixed methods approaches  Development of research designs based on mixed methods approaches  Getting to know and applying the mixed-methods approaches "Q-Methodology" and "SVIDT" , 2.0, Special Topics in Policy-Making (Social & Political Science) , This course deals with the interrelations of political and social processes. At its core are the concepts of public order, security and political decision-making, as well as the impact of nation-state strategies and political events on the state, the public and democracy.  Decision-making in the public sector   Assessing the expected and actual impact of policy decisions   Using data to assess the effectiveness of policy interventions   Balancing competing or conflicting interests between policy partners   Identifying stakeholders, assessing their preferences and mapping the policy context   Developments and strategic directions in the fields of E-governance and E-government   Administrative and political strategies for national and international risk and security management   , 2.0, Scientific Career Building, This course deals with the planning and development of an individual Scientific Career Canvas.
