Study programme
The concept of the degree programme provides for the TOMA module structure in the third, fourth and sixth semesters. Theoretical, organisational and methodological knowledge- as constitutive forms of knowledge in social work - are systematically transferred into action and application knowledge.
The TOMA modules each focus on different aspects and cover four fundamental socially and socio-educationally relevant areas:
- Social work and diversity
- Social work and health
- Social work and social space
- Social work and social inequality
During the course of the degree programme, students complete 28 of the 30 modules. As a rule, five modules totalling 30 credit points must be completed per semester, which corresponds to a workload of approx. 900 hours. This includes attendance time in courses as well as time for literature study, exercises, exam preparation and performance assessments.
There are compulsory and compulsory elective courses in all modules. The latter allow students to specialise and focus on their own areas of study.
Modulübersicht
Das Studium „Soziale Arbeit“ ist gegliedert in ein Grundlagenstudium, welches in den ersten zwei Semestern durchlaufen wird, und einem Vertiefungsstudium mit Praxissemester, ab dem dritten Semester. Zu den vermittelten Kenntnissen gehören unter anderem Theorie- und Methodenwissen, die Vermittlung von Handlungskompetenzen und rechtlichen Grundlagen sowie das Erlernen wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens. Ab dem dritten Semester ist das Studium außerdem in inhaltliche Schwerpunktsetzungen zu zentralen Querschnittsthemen aufgeteilt. Diese Themen werden aufeinander aufbauend, zunächst unter theoretischen Aspekten, dann unter methodischen und schließlich unter dem Aspekt der Anwendungsorientierung betrachtet.
Practical semester
The Practical Training Department informs students and Workplaces in the field of social work about the requirements and procedures before, during and after a practical semester.
