Description of the programme
The part-time social work degree programme is the right choice for you if you work in the social sector and would like to expand your specialist knowledge, develop your qualifications and optimise your career prospects.
Studying part-time means that you complete your studies as a working person or as an employed person alongside your job. The main component of your studies are learning units that you can work on at home and on which you will receive professional feedback - including individual coaching sessions. In addition, there are a total of four weekend attendance blocks per semester.
Why enrolling in this programme?
Social work is a growing field that offers you the best career prospects due to the shortage of skilled workers. Social problems in our society are becoming increasingly complex and the tasks of social work more demanding. Social workers are therefore active in fields of action such as:
Working with children, young people and families
Working with people with disabilities
Working with people with mental health problems
Working with the elderly
Working with people in a migration context
Working with people in special social situations
Accreditations & awards
The SRH Hochschule in North Rhine-Westphalia has been system-accredited since September first, 2021 and bears the quality seal of the Accreditation Council. This certifies that the university has the highest standards in studying and teaching—students have the guarantee that planning, teaching and assessment are carried out according to certified processes. As a system-accredited university, the SRH Hochschule in North Rhine-Westphalia is entitled to accredit its study programmes independently and with the audited quality management processes. This procedure replaces the previously common programme accreditation.
Institutionally accredited
In 2013, the university received the seal of approval from Germany's highest scientific body, the Science Council. With the accreditation, the Council ensures the quality of research and teaching and checks whether they meet recognised standards. Among other things, the Science Council praises the high level of identification of the teaching staff with the university and the pronounced commitment to teaching and student support. The SRH Hochschule in NRW was institutionally reaccredited in 2018. In its vote, the Science Council emphasises the positive development of the university. It also confirms that the university is valued as a co-operation partner in the region by companies and institutions in the social sector.
Award for the teaching and learning model CORE
In 2018, the Stifterverband recognised the CORE teaching and learning model with the Genius Loci Award, the only institutional award for excellent teaching in Germany. With the CORE principle (Competence Oriented Research and Education), SRH created a unique teaching and learning model in 2012 based on scientific findings from learning and brain research.
