The 2012 admission process for a bachelor's degree in Social Work
The admission process for the bachelor's degree programme in Social Work includes an evaluation of the applicant's previous professional experience, the results of the written ranking test for the FHV and a structured individual interview.
The admission process involves two stages:
Stage I
- Previous experience in the profession is listed on a separate supplement "Experience in the Profession." Previous experience is always to be proven with corresponding evidence (certificate, proof of insurance, etc.).

The points from stage 1 are considered with a weighting of 50% and the points from the individual interview are considered with a weighting of 50% in the final result.
There are 30 places. We notify you of the results at the beginning of July.
