Interested in pursuing a degree in Social Work but still have questions or concerns? No worries, that's completely normal. We understand that this is a significant decision – feel free to talk to us to discuss your concerns and get all your questions answered.
Worried if the study offers enough flexibility in learning methods?
Yes, this is what distinguishes MSB. With the modern concept of blended learning, a sensible mixture of face-to-face study, virtual teaching and self-study, you can study both on the Berlin campus and at your own personal place of learning. Because our quality standard course in social work must have both.
Without attendance, students cannot be professionally supervised and content cannot be taught in a methodically diverse way. Social interaction and exchange in groups as well as self-awareness exercises must be experienced and reflected in presence on the campus. This is the only way to learn how to work with people and for people. The social must be taught socially in the natural social space.
Wondering if you can balance your studies with a job?
Yes, that is also guaranteed. For a good theory-practice transfer, we encourage you to work in a social institution during your studies. Despite studying full-time, you only have to study three days a week. In addition, you are only on campus once a month during the so-called attendance week. The remaining three weeks are spent studying virtually at your favorite place of learning. In short: you have the best opportunities to work alongside your studies and to choose your learning places individually.
Concerned about financing your studies?
We offer financing solutions, and information about loans to help you finance your studies. A degree from MSB is an investment in your future that will pay off in the long run.
Afraid that the program might be too theoretical?
The study-integrated practical semester (internship) is compulsory for all students in order to obtain state recognition. It lasts one semester (20 weeks) and usually takes place at the end of your studies. During the internship, you will be supervised by a teacher from the university and regularly take part in supervision groups.
Worried about finding a job after graduation?
The Social Work (B.A.) degree program gives you the opportunity to go straight into practice or continue your studies. Or both. Because the MSB Master's degree program allow you to combine studies and work, just like the Bachelor's degree program.
If you initially only want to go into practice, as a state-recognized social worker you can choose from any field of practice. You can get started in all areas of social work with independent, church or public organizations. Whether you work with children, young people and families or the elderly - the choice is yours, because you are needed everywhere. People with specific problems such as social-emotional impairments or disabilities, mental illness, addiction or delinquent behavior also need your help.
If you want more right away, a subsequent Master's degree will qualify you for leadership and management positions in practice as well as for an academic career with the possibility of a doctoral study program.
