BA/BS in Soziale Arbeit

The Bachelor's programme in Social Work at Technische Hochschule Mannheim is interdisciplinary and practice-oriented, and it includes research from the first semester. Graduates qualify for a wide range of roles in both established and newer fields of social work. Upon successful completion, students obtain state recognition, which entitles them to use the protected professional titles for social workers and social pedagogues in Germany. Theory and practice are linked throughout the degree. Core modules in every semester cover the theory and practice of social work, legal foundations, human science foundations, and management and social policy. Students reflect on their practical experience to build theoretical understanding. Electives allow individual profiles in areas such as conversation techniques, social work methods, media education, research workshops and key competences.
