In cooperation with Prof.in Dr.in Anke Spies (Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg) I am supervising the following doctoral studies:

Laura Holtbrink
The role of school social work in the inclusion process at elementary school.

The program consists of specially designated courses of the BA Social Work study program (internal content) and other external courses (external content).

All courses either conclude with coursework or a specific examination or, in the case of external courses, must be proven by certificates of attendance.
