Field of study
- Main instruction language German
- Digital teaching and learning units Yes
- Annotation of the Higher Education Institution The katho offers the degree programme with vocational and academic elements in Paderborn and - subject to extension accreditation - also in Aachen and Cologne from the winter semester of 2024/25. From the winter semester of 2025/26, the course will start in Münster (subject to extension accreditation).
  
  The degree programme with vocational and academic elements begins at the same time at the university and in a practice facility. The students will work at both study locations throughout the entire six-semester degree course. The close interlinking of the practical and university study locations helps you both to acquire scientifically sound knowledge and to develop competencies for social work. The practice of professional action and its reflection are also fostered.
