BA/BS in Soziale Arbeit

The Bachelor of Arts in Social Work prepares students to act competently and responsibly in the diverse fields of social work. It approaches social problems from several perspectives and draws on elements of other sciences, while staying in touch with recent developments in the field. Graduates can recognise social problems and their individual and societal causes critically, develop methodologically sound approaches and put them into practice. The programme qualifies graduates for all fields of social work, including social services and public authorities. Studies start in the summer or winter semester. A six-week pre-internship of 240 hours in a relevant social field must be completed before lectures begin, and it can also be done half-time over twelve weeks. Admission is restricted locally. Applications for the summer semester 2027 run from early December 2026 to 15 January 2027.
