Competency model

The course plan stipulates nine modules that represent the entire core offering ("core competencies"): Here, the central focus areas and competence aspects of the local arrangement of social work are to be conveyed. The program supplements this core offering with a two times three modules each comprehensive specialization that allows for the conveyance of specific and thematic-specific competences of social work with a local context. One of these specializations is optional and is designed to support the own profile development. This study offer is supplemented and rounded off by three modules that convey common skills and knowledge as "general competences" and constitute the disciplinary basis.
