Opportunities in the Institute of Social Work

The Institute of Social Work of the Department of Human Sciences can rely on long-standing national and international contacts, especially in Europe. Our interest is to maintain and deepen these international cooperations, to establish new cooperations and to strengthen the international orientation of the department. Students of the BA and MA programs of the institute can take advantage of our contacts in the context of stays abroad and position themselves internationally.

What speaks in favor of a stay abroad?

Many of our students report after their stay abroad that it is a great personal gain to have spent some time in another country and environment. They benefit in many ways, learn what interculturality and transculturality mean outside of courses, and are competitive in the international and regional job market.
A stay abroad offers many advantages:

Gaining international experience in the professional and practical life environment
Building international networks and making new contacts
Getting to know new cultures, social conditions, self-conceptions and traditions
Gathering study and subject-related experience
Strengthening of personality and independence
Fun and much more
