In addition to the practical semester, at least 900 hours must be completed in a field of social work or in the area of child and youth welfare as part of the dual degree programme with in-depth practical experience during the course of study. As a rule, these working hours are completed during the lecture-free periods, but can also be completed during the semester by individual arrangement, taking into account the lecture schedule and the placement options and requirements of the institution.
The "Social Work" degree programme is divided into a foundation course, which is completed in the first two semesters, and a specialisation course with an internship semester from the third semester onwards. The knowledge imparted includes theoretical and methodological knowledge, the teaching of practical skills and legal principles as well as learning how to work scientifically. From the third semester onwards, the programme is also divided into thematic focuses on central cross-sectional topics. These topics are considered one after the other, first from a theoretical perspective, then from a methodological perspective and finally from an application-orientated perspective.
