Detailed description of the degree programme
Social work must face constantly changing individual realities of life and social structures at the academic and practical level. This is where our Master’s programme comes in: we link the topics of social work as a discipline and profession together, and the management and organisation of social work to research in the field. This way, as a senior expert who undertakes research, you will be able to actively shape change in the future.
