The Social Aspects Cluster focuses on transformation processes, change management, technology assessment and business ethics.
The Integrative Cluster includes the discussion, presentation and documentation of research results within the course research methods and the scientific research seminar, two (compulsory) elective subjects and a Master's thesis in the area of foresight, technology, economy and sociology.
