Social research is the analysis of social phenomena and the study of behaviour within societies. The work involves the planning and conduct of studies, the collection of data, as well as their evaluation and interpretation. The aim is to gain new insights about social structures or problems and to derive recommendations for action.
In Germany, the average salary in the social research field is €49,800 per year, with the salary range ranging from €42,200 to €59,900 per year, depending on various factors such as region, employer and professional experience.
A bachelor's degree is often the minimum standard, while many positions also require a master's degree or even a doctorate. Practical experience through internships or research projects is also an advantage.
Social research offers a wide range of career opportunities, both in academic and applied research, working in research institutes, universities, non-profit organisations or in industry.
