You acquire knowledge and skills in the areas of theoretical, economic and legal foundations of social work, fields of practice and services of youth welfare, social pedagogical methods and diagnostics, administrative and business management frameworks as well as in practice research and evaluation. You deepen your knowledge and skills in cross-field cooperation in multiprofessional teams as well as in inter-institutional cooperation and networking.
