Annotation

The katho offers the degree programme with vocational and academic elements in Aachen, Cologne and Paderborn and - subject to extension accreditation - also in Münster from the winter semester of 2025/26. The degree programme with vocational and academic elements begins at the same time at the university and in a practice facility. The students will work at both study locations throughout the entire six-semester degree course. The close interlinking of the practical and university study locations helps you both to acquire scientifically sound knowledge and to develop competencies for social work. The practice of professional action and its reflection are also fostered. Other bachelor's study options: - Social Work (full-time study in person; Aachen, Cologne, Münster, Paderborn) - Social Work Compact (part-time study; Aachen)
