Diversity - Research - Social Work (Master)

This page contains automatically translated content.

Social diversity is a starting condition for the further development of social work theory, research and practice. The research-oriented Master's program offers students the opportunity to learn to analyze the complex interplay of diversity, social differentiation and social inequality from various theoretical perspectives. This is concretized by means of exemplary theoretical and research approaches - for example, migration, gender and inclusion research or aging, health and therapy research. All courses in this spectrum are closely related to the research activities of the Institute of Social Work.

In the empirical part of the research-oriented Master's program (research workshops, research internships), questions concerning social diversity are examined in an exemplary manner. The goal of the master's program is to impart interdisciplinary basic theoretical knowledge and methodological research skills. This is done with systematic reference to social work issues. This results in a specific professional profile of social work in dealing with social diversity, social inequality and risks of exclusion. Social work is strengthened in its fundamental task of reflecting on social conflicts and advancing social cohesion processes. The study program enables a continuous interplay between theoretical questions and practical research tasks. Interdisciplinary perspectives on social work in the context of social change are developed, including international comparative approaches.
