Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Good individual supervision throughout the academic studies; Opportunity to develop a specialisation in exemplary fields of Social Work; broad range of options and numerous additional courses for students with an interest in Sport, Experimental Pedagogics, Art Therapy, Interview Techniques, Social Focus; small and consistent teaching groups form the foundation for self-reflective work in a confidential environment; strong support for semesters abroad and work placements abroad as well as unbureaucratic leaves of absence (e.g. care work, focus on career).

Special features regarding the international orientation

There are regular “international seminars”: a themed seminar week is staged with a partner university on site and at the Catholic University. Here, for example, there are cooperations with universities in the Netherlands, Spain or Ukraine. Two of these international seminars are conducted as a "Blended Intensive Programme" (BIP) in hybrid form. Every two years, an "International Week" is also held at the university, in which students and academics from many parts of the world come together.
