About the Program
The work-integrated study programme in Clinical Social Work is especially suitable for professionals who want to provide psychosocial advice, supervision and treatment and wish to specialise in view of the increasing isolation and exclusion of marginalised, previously difficult to reach people. The Master's study programme is offered in cooperation with Coburg University of Applied Sciences. Students study in block seminars with learning support for five semesters in a fixed study group of around 25 students. Flexible learning support for the Master's thesis is provided in the sixth semester. In addition to gaining methodological expertise, clinical social workers learn how to creatively apply their knowledge in complex and changing practice situations. Emphasis is also placed on the ability to create new knowledge through research and to reflect on this and translate it into practice. Clinical social work is dedicated to serving people who strive for a dignified life but often fail due to social and institutional hurdles.
