Students thus acquire abstraction abilities and learn to think in terms of comprehensive connections. In this context, they develop awareness of the questions of social constructions such as historicity, modernization, identity politics, globalization, gender etc., and they learn to relativize their own point of view. With its comparative and cultural-relativistic perspective, the Bachelor’s Programme in European Ethnology also promotes constructivist thinking and enables students to critically reflect their own assumptions and categories of perception.
Until the completion of the study programme, students develop critical reflection skills which enable them to apply European-ethnological knowledge to cultural problems by formulating and substantiating scientific arguments.
