What you study

Have you ever been driven crazy by glaring injustice, the unfair distribution of resources, exclusion and discrimination, and the bureaucratic hurdles that always seem to pile up on those who need urgent help the most?

Social work studies provide theoretical, research-based, and practical knowledge in therapeutic and preventive work in a range of settings: communities, groups, families, and individuals (adults and children), together with professional experience. At most institutions, students choose during their studies between an individual and family track and a community track. Topics covered in the degree include introductory studies and research studies in the social sciences and humanities, behavioral sciences, welfare studies, social care, social policy and legislation, research methods, statistics, and more. Students also take part in practical experience with a range of populations: older adults, prisoners, families, at-risk youth, and more.
