About the programme

Social Work and Participation is a three-semester Master of Arts at Ravensburg-Weingarten University (RWU) that starts in the summer semester. It focuses on participation, inclusion and social justice, which have always been core issues of social work and are now more central than ever. You learn the political, ethical, organisational and professional theory needed for a professional approach to participation and inclusion, and explore questions such as how social work can analyse exclusion processes. The programme links theory and practice, builds specific skills in promoting participation and inclusion, teaches you to analyse social change and its consequences for social work, and deepens your research methods. It is aimed at graduates in social work or a closely related field. Graduates are prepared for roles across almost all fields of social work.
