Overview

About Social Work with Children and Youth at Riga Stradins University

The programme Social Work With Children and Youth has joined an international consortium of four universities that will manage the programme adding an even more international dimension to it (studies held for a semester in each of the partner universities). With this change of organisation, RSU will no longer process applications to this programme since the admissions will be organised centrally by the leading partner university.

Careers

Following graduation there are a number of job options not only in Latvia and Lithuania but in other countries as well - working with children and youth in a multicultural environment, as well as in refugee and asylum seeker centres. Potential employers - local government, social and educational centres for children and youth, childrens' crisis centres, as well as the option of conducting research and continuing with doctoral studies.
