MA/MS in Soziale Arbeit

The master programme in social work focuses on counselling, leadership, governance and digitalisation. It prepares graduates to act as experts where advice, management and social policy meet, and to shape change in social services. Modules cover counselling theory and practice, organisation and quality management, governance, municipal social policy and the influence of digitality on communication and working processes. Students carry out practice projects with social institutions and build a professional network. The study is delivered by the Faculty of Social Work. Its emphasis on digital competence goes beyond the qualifications typically gained in undergraduate social work degrees. Graduates are prepared for leadership and steering roles in social organisations where digital change and quality demands are increasingly central. The regional social economy, shaped by small and medium-sized organisations, offers many such positions.
