Its current academic profile is concentrated in social work, childhood education, nursing, midwifery, physician assistance, health research, counselling, management and vocational teacher education.

This master file is a course portfolio of 6 undergraduate entries and 4 postgraduate entries . Undergraduate study include Social Work, Childhood Education, Midwifery, Physician Assistance, Nursing and Health, and Vocational Education for Nursing and Health. Postgraduate options include: Social Work, Health Services Research and Innovation, Supervision and Counselling, Vocational Education for Nursing and Health. Each entry preserves the official parent qualification and embeds pathways or concentrations within the specialisation field, rather than inflating them into degrees of their own. Where the institution does not independently award doctorates, this record identifies only credible cooperative doctoral research pathways and specifies that formal admission is the responsibility of a doctoral-awarding partner.
The university says decisions are typically delivered quickly once a full review is complete, and applications are generally accepted on a rolling basis until the relevant spring or autumn cohort is full, with submissions made directly online. Applicants should consult the current program page for the exact intake, language of instruction, academic requirements, selection method and document route before applying. 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. Admission to doctoral studies is separate from enrolment in bachelor’s and master’s studies and depends on a suitable topic, supervision, funding and formal acceptance by the awarding university.
Tuition fees are program-specific: €448 per month for full-time study of the Social Work bachelor, €498 per month for the dual version, and other programs and one-time charges as per the current schedule. Tuition usually does not cover housing, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel and optional project expenses. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Possible funding opportunities are BAföG (for eligible students), the Deutschlandstipendium (where offered), DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility funding, foundations, employer sponsorship, education funds and paid research and student assistant work. All awards are assessed independently of admission.
Career preparation includes placement service but does not guarantee placement. Healthcare, nursing, education, counselling, social services, clinical assistance, nonprofit management. Employability is developed for students through clinical placements, supervised social-work practice, dual employer phases, teaching exercises, applied projects, skills laboratories and professionally focused theses. Alumni and professional networks can provide mentoring, industry knowledge and contacts, but it is up to the student to apply for jobs and make career choices. The institution is particularly interesting for applicants who want to study in small groups in the areas of health, education and social professions, with flexible full-time, dual and employment-compatible models, provided that their previous education, language certificate, study model and financing correspond to the current program conditions.
