FAQ Incoming
If you have any further questions, please contact us.
Professionals in social facilities are constantly in contact with people whose life has been deeply influenced by experiences in different countries and different places. At the same time, more and more organizations work across national borders. A sensitive approach to multilingualism, migration biographies, cultural differences and everyday racism is an important skill for social work professionals.
Studying abroad is a great opportunity to make important experiences for your future career. New and disconcerting experiences can spark personal development. The Faculty of Applied Social Sciences encourages its students to spend a semester at a foreign university or complete an internship abroad to encounter new work environments. To this end, we keep in mind the special challenges of an exchange for students with kids, care responsibilities, job responsibilities or other impairments.
