Welcome to the Department of Social Work and Social Welfare

The Institute of Social Work emerged from the former Faculty of Social Work (04) at the University of Kassel, which was merged with the Departments of Education, Psychology and Music to form the Faculty of Human Sciences (01) as part of a restructuring process.

The Institute is responsible for one of the few university BA degree courses in Social Work in Germany.
Attractive courses of study, a wide range of research focuses and activities and, at the same time, good practical links and orientation make this location interesting for students and academics.
