After successful completion of the course, students are able to...
- understand the connections between the needs of precarious and "inalienable" people and regional planning;
- to understand differences in the binding nature and mode of action of regional planning instruments;
- to understand why certain spatial offers (e.g. mobility, energy, everyday and leisure infrastructure) are (how) diversity-relevant and will need more regional cooperation in the future;
- to transfer all these findings into a scientifically consistent written work (text, illustrations, sources) with a distinctive storyline

Diversity is no longer (only) about gender mainstreaming or feminism, but about many other groups whose special needs are often little visible or even unknown: Very old and very young people, people on the run, "illegals", temporary residents, multi-locals, etc.: Diversity means that a range of people with different ethnic, socio-economic and cultural backgrounds, as well as different lifestyles, experiences and interests, can live differently and without conflict in the same place.
To achieve this, we work together to develop analyses and planning proposals that must mean something specific to "the space".
The Bachelor's seminar enables the students to work in a largely self-organised, interactive and practice-oriented process. The students work as a "peer group" that supports and advises each other in the elaboration of questions and the writing of the thesis. The students are required to derive and elaborate current and relevant research questions for their individual work from the selected problem areas, supported by the peer group and supervisor.
