Far away from home, you can rediscover many things - especially yourself.

Opportunities at the Institute of Social Sciences

The Institute of Social Work in the Faculty of Human Sciences can draw on many years of national and international contacts, particularly in Europe. We are interested in maintaining and deepening these international cooperations, establishing new cooperations and strengthening the international orientation of the department. Students on the BA and MA courses at the Institute can use our contacts as part of their stays abroad and position themselves internationally.

What are the benefits of a stay abroad?

Many of our students report after their stay abroad that it is a great personal gain to have spent some time in another country and environment. They benefit in many ways, learn what interculturality and transculturality also mean outside of courses and are competitive in the international and regional job market.
A stay abroad offers many advantages:

Improving foreign language skills and intercultural competencies
Gaining international experience in a professional and practical environment
Building international networks and making new contacts
Getting to know new cultures, social conditions, self-images and traditions
Gaining study and subject-related experience
Strengthening your personality and independence
Fun and much more

To put it in a nutshell: Take the plunge and, above all, think outside the box!
