Master of Social Policy

go to a list of Masters programmes in Social Policy

Study contents of the Masters course

The Master of Social Policy qualifies you as an expert of social management and social politics. You learn how social and welfare states have emerged, how an ever-more globalising world challenges the concept of state-indicted welfare, how the pursuit of prosperity and ever-more growth leaves behind an ever-growing group of underprivileged. In order to grasp these ideas and conduct sound analyses, you use an interdisciplinary approach. Sociology, politics, and economics serve as academic disciplines just as much as health management, law and (social) psychology.

Postgraduate career opportunities associated with Social Policies

In one to two years, you will accomplish a Masters study that entitles you with a Master of Arts and qualifies you for professions in the social branch. The demographic change, a more stressful environment and a global epidemic of belt-tightening measures requires far-reaching and extensive social policies. Thus, these professions call for experts as you will become one:

• social institutions
• public administration
• departments for migration and integration
• social counseling
• nursing homes
• schools and kindergartens, nurseries
• charitable associations
