Objectives of study
The studies provide profession-related, scientific and communicative competencies for prominent activities and positions in various fields of social work. Building on basic competencies in social work, the degree course aims for a specific capability spectrum that combines scientific-analytic, instructing-counselling, planning-coordinating and science of social welfare-researching competencies.
Particularly against the background of reorganisation in the structures of providers for social work and modified societal reproduction conditions, this integrated competency is prerequisite.
Occupational fields
Using the competencies which they were provided, graduates are to be enabled to do and take responsibility for qualified social work that meets the demand and is, at the same time, both situation-oriented and professionally competent. Occupying high hierarchical positions, they are also able to react innovatively and flexibly to restructuring processes.
The Master’s degree allows admission to higher service.
Curricular design
The studies consist of 4 semesters. Apart from the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, work on a practice-based research project is to be done in each semester. The 4th semester serves the making of the finalizing Master’s thesis.
