You ask yourself these questions in social work:
From which perspectives do I need to look at a problem?
How can people be supported in leading independent and self-determined lives?
What are the conditions that cause distress?
How can these conditions - individually and socially - be overcome?
Which cooperation partners with other professionals can I work with to support people in problem situations? Where are there interfaces with other disciplines, e.g. law, psychology or educational science?
Exclusively at our faculty you can
acquire specialist knowledge during their Bachelor's degree. For example, in the areas of child and youth welfare, offender support, school social work, theater pedagogy
Dual Bachelor's degree: "Social work with a focus on migration and integration". Dual study means that you attend seminars and lectures two days a week and do "real" practical work three days a week
very practical work in all areas: you not only read, talk and learn, but also interact with people outside the university and make a difference during your studies
