Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences (BAGSS)

The Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences (BAGGS) was established in 2010 to create an innovative working and learning environment for exceptionally qualified doctoral researchers. The School’s ambition is to stimulate and guide cutting-edge research on some of the most crucial challenges faced by modern knowledge-based societies. Taking into account that modern economies compete for creative minds at the international level and schools helps people to develop the necessary skills to compete in the labor market, the research focus of the institution is focused on the large number of social, economic and political factors that influences people´s decisions about education. Some of these areas include: * Education, personal development, and learning from early childhood to adulthood * Education and social inequality across the entire life * Changes in human capital, labor markets and demographic structures and their impact on social inequality in modern societies * Governance, institutional change and political behavior  uni-bamberg
