The seven scientific subdisciplines - Applied Ethics, Educational Science, Communication Science, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Sports Science - reflect the variety of contents and methods of the Faculty of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

In addition to diversity, there are also commonalities that relate, for example, to human behavior and positive influence on human behavior. Due to the current challenges facing society through climate change, demographic aging or growing social inequality, the answers given by social and behavioral scientists to these issues are becoming increasingly important.
