Presentation

In partnership with the Universities of Applied Sciences and Arts (HES) this programme: 

• Contributes to the interdisciplinary study of social problems, their developments and dynamics. 
• Focuses on affected individuals, families, groups and communities and provides knowledge about their experiences, their constructions of meaning and their ways of dealing with disadvantage and exclusion. 
• Engages in analysis and reflection on social action and creates - through evaluation and systematic intervention research - a scientific basis for evidence-based professional intervention and the development and innovation of social work offerings. 
• Produces knowledge about social work organisations and contextualises them within the landscape of available services and in relation to the social security system.
