MA/MS in Soziale Arbeit

This part-time distance master's programme builds on a bachelor's degree in social work and on professional practice. It prepares graduates to meet current challenges in the field and to take on leading tasks. Subjects include support for refugees, trauma-informed education, social inequality, digitalisation and marketing for social institutions. A first degree in social work or a similar pedagogical subject is needed. The course ends with a master's thesis. The Hamburger Fern-Hochschule (HFH) is based in Hamburg and focuses on distance study that can be combined with a job. Prospective students should check the programme page for the full study profile, the module structure, the exact fee model and the registration steps before they enrol, and they can contact the university for individual questions about study planning. The study is practice-oriented and takes the experience gained in earlier professional work as a starting point for deeper, more specialised learning, with attention to the demands placed on people in leading positions.
