Overview

Throughout the Social Work course from Medical School Berlin you will be able to analyze problems, conflicts, and crises in a self-confident and self-conscious way and to develop sustainable solutions for individuals, institutions, or the social space of an urban area. You will learn to plan specific assistance and to know how this is financed, implemented, and finally evaluated.

You will be able to analyze and further develop complex issues with suitable research designs. You will have a comprehensive and well-founded knowledge base, identify mental disorders in children, adolescents, and adults, and derive appropriate interventions from them.

Career opportunities:

The number of vacancies in social work is enormous. Many vacancies remain unfilled because the number of university graduates does not match the needs of the labor market. Both public, independent, and church organizations and institutions are constantly looking for well-trained professionals for basic work and management positions.

On the basis of current developments, this already high demand is expected to increase further. This applies in particular to social workers with a master's degree, as they fulfill the specific practical fields of social work with empirical knowledge, methodological expertise, competences in quality management, and knowledge of the health care system and social systems.

The Master's degree program qualifies graduates for activities in the following areas:

Counseling Centers
Youth services and social services
Inpatient child and youth welfare facilities
Penal system
Public health service
Social-medical rehabilitation
Hospitals
Schools and daycare centers
Family Centers
Coordination and planning centers (e.g., social planning)
Political posts
Administrative bodies at the federal, state, and municipal levels
