CVJM works with a direct written application, supplemented by an information or admissions interview. Applicants confirm the institutional mission and the campus agreement, and submit a statement of motivation and a record of relevant practical or voluntary engagement where appropriate. Before applying please check the current program page for the exact intake, teaching language, academic prerequisites, selection method and document route. International certificates may require certified translations, proof of equivalency, APS documentation for relevant countries or other language proof. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement or an interview. Doctoral admission is independent of the enrolment at the Bachelor and Master level and depends on a suitable topic, supervision, funding and formal acceptance by the awarding university .
The Social Work bachelor's designed for people in employment costs €355 per month, and there's no additional tuition if study takes longer than the standard period. Other programs operate under the current fee regulations and can include an enrolment fee of €350 and a completion fee of €300. Housing, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel and optional project expenses are generally not included in stated tuition. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Funding may be available from BAföG for eligible students, from the Deutschlandstipendium where available, from DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility support, from foundations or employer sponsorship, from education funds or from paid research and student-assistant work, with each award considered independently of admission.
Career preparation is representative of the churches, youth work, welfare organisations, community services, education, nonprofits, and international social projects. Career preparation is not a placement guarantyd service. Students develop employability through a 300-hour pre-study practical or voluntary record where required, field placements, blended-learning contact phases, community projects, reflective practice and applied theses. Alumni and professional networks can be a source of mentoring, sector insight and contacts, but the responsibility for applications and career decisions is the student's. The institution is particularly worthwhile for applicants who are looking for State-recognized social work preparation, Christian community learning, youth work expertise, flexible professional formats and values-based public theology, provided their previous education, language evidence, study format and financing fit with the current program conditions.
