Program details

Overview

The two-year associate degree prepares students for work where care and safety meet, such as in prisons, addiction care and forensic psychiatric clinics. Students work with people who face complex problems, including addiction, psychiatric issues and criminal behaviour. They learn to keep people safe while still offering help. Professionals in this field recognise problems early and balance support with setting limits. The award is an associate degree in care and safety, delivered full-time in Den Bosch in Dutch.
