Master of Science in Social Work – (M.Sc.)

As a broad-based course of study, the "Master in Social Work" builds on the Bachelor´s degree or an equivalent higher education qualification. It goes more deeply into the knowledge acquired in the Bachelor´s course and provides a grounded scientific overview of the subject.

Students acquire the means to develop approaches and models to engage with complex tasks, carry out research and conduct wide-ranging interdisciplinary projects. They are able to take an active part in the theoretical development of the discipline and profession of social work, and anticipate, instigate and implement future models and development possibilities. Graduates of the course are able to identify and manage organisational processes. Using their specialist professional knowledge and competence, they are qualified to analyse evolving problematic situations and the particular environmental, group and generational characteristics of these.

The course leads to the award of the internationally recognised "Master of Science in Social Work" qualification. It carries 90 ECTS credits (3-6 semesters).
