Integration of theory and practice
The curricula of the Bachelor and Master courses in Social Work in all study phases (explicit and lateral/cross-curricular) require a systematic discussion of methodological and content questions of research. Electives also feature research workshops. These courses are offered by professors who are actively involved in research at the university or externally. A book expected to be published in 2018 on the topic “Research-based learning – learning-based research” explains the didactic concepts practised at the KSFH.
