Annotation

The compact degree course facilitates studying social work for people with family or care responsibilities or those who are working. Because: The face-to-face courses only take place on Fridays and Saturdays. The increased proportion of self-study is supported by partly asynchronous online teaching.
The study programme imparts knowledge from social work, but also from disciplines that are important for social work. Practice-oriented teaching on a scientific basis provides students with the knowledge and skills they need to act responsibly and professionally.
