Study

The programme equips students to respond to current societal challenges requiring research-oriented approaches. They learn to design comprehensive research projects in social work, including sound methodological frameworks, and to analyse data using advanced software in both qualitative and quantitative research strategies. You gain skills in mixed-methods research as a basis for developing practical solutions and connecting research findings with their application, aiming to improve the quality of social services and the lives of clients. The programme emphasises adherence to ethical standards in research and its impact on practice, as well as critical engagement with various research sources (e.g. systematic reviews, meta-analyses, meta-syntheses, and scientific articles). Students apply principles of evidence-based theory and practice and reflect on developments in the social sector in light of relevant forecasts. It also fosters interdisciplinary collaboration to address real-world needs and develop comprehensive solutions. Graduates are prepared to present and publish their research and find employment, for example, as specialists in coordinated rehabilitation for clients with health disadvantages or in management roles within social work, where they contribute to linking different professions to meet practical needs.
