The aim of the Bachelor’s degree programme is to provide practice-oriented training for future social work professionals who, grounded in the global principles, scientific and professional foundations, ethical standards, and core methods of social work, are capable of practicing social work as a vocation—primarily in the broadly interpreted fields of child welfare and social services. Graduates are committed to reducing social inequalities and exclusion, enhancing well-being, and upholding democratic values. They are prepared to carry out professional and responsible social work practice in service of these goals.

The programme meets both national and international professional standards for social work education and aligns with the qualification requirements of similar programmes across the European Higher Education Area. Graduates of the BA programme are also well-prepared to continue their studies at the master’s level.

Social Work is one of the most practice-oriented bachelor’s programmes within the field of social sciences. The work of professionals trained in this programme is founded on a commitment to helping others.

The role of social workers is to maintain the delicate balance between individuals and their social environment. When this balance can no longer be sustained, they work to mitigate and professionally address the arising social problems as effectively as possible.

The ultimate goal of social work is to uphold human rights and social justice while promoting social inclusion.

The key virtues of a social worker include unconditional acceptance, helpfulness, empathy, curiosity, altruism, creativity, resourcefulness, and, last but not least, strong communication skills.

Despite its name, social work is not merely a job—it is a calling, a vocation that is difficult to pursue without deep personal dedication.
