Take off as a young talent in the social sector
The Covid-19 pandemic has shown how urgently society needs qualified young people in the social sector. The increasing migration movement and the associated challenges also mean that the career opportunities for social workers and social education workers with academic qualifications are first class. A trend that will continue in the coming years and decades.
As a young talent in the field of social work, you may encounter various tasks and topics: social inequality, child and youth education or the increasing migration movement. During your practice-oriented studies, you will learn how you can best support people in these different life situations. In addition, exciting specializations such as “social work with children and young people”, “psychosocial counselling and health”, “digitalization in social work” or “social work in old age” await you.
Our 8-semester course in social work enables you to obtain a state-recognized Bachelor’s degree (Bachelor of Arts, B.A.) and state recognition as a social worker or social pedagogue. Thanks to the compact attendance modules, you remain flexible in terms of time and are still ideally prepared for a successful career start or a further Master’s degree.
