Department of Philosophy, Politics and Economics
Digital transformation, the climate crisis and globalization - these are some of the biggest challenges facing our society that the PPÖ department focuses on in its teaching and research. We develop theoretical and methodological tools to understand and help shape the sustainable and equitable development of society. To this end, we consider different perspectives and work together across disciplines. Our teaching constantly adapts to the changing economic and social environment - our students not only learn to understand problems, but can also reflect on them and find solutions.
