Minor for Bachelor Programmes
Diversity and education
The minor ‘Diversity and Education’ is part of the Bachelor's programme in Education at the Faculty of Education. It is aimed at students from other faculties. As part of this minor in educational science, all participants receive an introduction to the fields of disability studies, gender relations, migration and post-migrant perspectives on education. Within this spectrum of diversity, different, complementary dimensions are reflected upon, expanded and considered together. From the perspective of the Faculty of Education, this introductory course on diversity and education is particularly helpful in perceiving diversity and understanding it as a transdisciplinary topic and intersectional perspective. With this minor the faculty aims to contribute to greater democracy, diversity and inclusion and offer students from other faculties valuable insight into the topic.
Graduates of the Minor ‘Diversity and Education’ are able to analyse the role of diversity as an essential dimension of educational processes, have broadened their perspective on the dynamics of social inequality and difference and are able to explain diversity dimensions in their intersectional contexts. Graduates are able to critically assess diversity and deepen their knowledge of selected diversity dimensions.
The Minor Diversity and Education comprises 30 ECTS-Credits. The minor consists of three modules, which are listed below. These modules can be completed in one semester or spread over several semesters. The modules are held in German. The complete version of the curriculum can be found here.
