The Bachelor's program in Social Work focuses on equipping students with practical skills and theoretical knowledge in social work. It incorporates three internships during the study, allowing students to apply their learning in real-world settings. Graduates will be well-prepared for various roles in social services, social policy, and community work.
Die Studierenden beschäftigen sich mit den Grundlagen der Sozialarbeit, den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen und den psychologischen Aspekten von Benachteiligung. Thematische Schwerpunkte liegen auf der Jugend- und Familienhilfe sowie der Arbeit mit älteren Menschen.
Das Studium ist modular aufgebaut und gliedert sich über sechs Semester, einschließlich eines Praktikums und einer Bachelorarbeit. Die Studierenden haben die Möglichkeit, in Projektgruppen an praktischen Aufgaben zu arbeiten und ihr theoretisches Wissen anzuwenden.
Absolventen sollen über fundierte Kenntnisse in der Sozialen Arbeit verfügen und in der Lage sein, soziale Probleme zu analysieren und Lösungsansätze zu entwickeln. Sie werden befähigt, in verschiedenen Kontexten der Sozialarbeit zu agieren und kompetent zu handeln.

Third-country (non-EU/EEA) applicants generally need to have their prior qualifications legalised and translated for the admission application. Exact rules depend on the country that issued each document — always confirm with the university's admissions office.
Program-specific items — a CV, letter of motivation, an entrance exam (e.g. GMAT, GRE, SAT) or a portfolio — vary by degree. Check this program's requirements above and its official page.
The level of legalisation your certificates need depends on your country of origin:
Apostille
If your country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an Apostille from the competent authority of the issuing country is sufficient.
No legalisation
A small number of countries have a bilateral agreement with Austria and need no further legalisation.
Full diplomatic legalisation
For all other countries: the full chain — pre-certification by the issuing country's authorities (e.g. Ministry of Education and Ministry of Foreign Affairs), then legalisation by the competent Austrian representation (embassy/consulate).
Translations are usually done after legalisation. Check the required order with the issuing authorities and the Austrian representation.
After admission: proof of sufficient funds, health insurance and the student residence permit are part of the visa process — not university admission. We cover those in the guides.
