Important for third countries (non-EU/non-EEA):
As an applicant from a third country (non-EU or non-EEA), the March 1 is the application deadline for you. The reason for this is that it sometimes takes longer until international documents can be checked or lead times are necessary for applying for a visa or residence permit.
Professional experience for the bachelor's degree in Social Work
In the Social Work bachelor's programme, your previous professional experience, among other things, is considered as part of the admission process. The following activities are considered "professional experience". As proof, you upload relevant documents such as employer reference letters in the online application.
- Voluntary social year
- Community service
- A relevant work placement (within a social organization) of at least 6 months
- At least 2 years of relevant professional experience (within the framework of a social organization and/or social work activities)
- At least 2 years of professional experience (related) in another professional field
- Indicate activities such as volunteer work, child care, care of relatives, etc. in the resume. No supporting documents required
Only upload supporting documents to the online application that correspond to one or more of these categories. Other occupations and studies are specifically not allowed and will not be considered.
Earlier application = Earlier rank test participation!
With your application up to March 1, you can choose from ranking test dates in March and May. If your application arrives after March 1, you will take the placement test in May (unless there are still places available in March). For best date selection, it pays to apply early!
