Social Work - dual (Bachelor)

By organising this study programme as an online course with only one monthly practical block (5 x per semester on Friday and Saturday), you can study at the Fulda University of Applied Sciences and live and work in your home town, travelling to Fulda for the attendance blocks if necessary.
 

BASA-dual is primarily aimed at people,
 

• who want to secure their livelihood and study at the same time,
• who are already working in a voluntary capacity in social work, e.g. in self-help organisations, and would like to establish themselves professionally in the field of social work,
• who have discovered the professional field of social work for themselves, i.e. intend to change careers and would like to qualify for it.

The study programme is studied on a dual basis in the concept of "blended learning", with three learning locations: You as a student 
 

• work a minimum of 15 to a maximum of 28 hours per week at your placement provider
• study online via an e-learning platform from home (approx. 20 hours per week)
• come to Fulda University of Applied Sciences once a month for an on-campus weekend (Friday and Saturday).
   

The study load is 210 credit points according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), of which 115 credit points are acquired through self-study and 65 credit points through attendance and project work (1 credit point corresponds to a workload of approximately 30 hours).
