Useful background information
The School of Social Studies is one of the 12 academies within HAN University of Applied Sciences. Well over 4750 students are following a full, part-time or dual study in the social field at the academy.
We offer studies at bachelor's, associate's and master's level.

The Academy employs over 430 staff members.
The bachelor of International Social Work started in September 2020 and focuses on the broad domain of care and welfare. The teaching methodology focuses on the student and promotes the student's independent learning. The students work on thematic teaching assignments for practice. The lecturers guide and coach the students in this and make the connection with the theoretical framework. In addition, the students build a broad and solid knowledge base. For this, lessons have been set up on theoretical approaches. Methodical and communication skills are also systematically trained. Finally, there are creative courses in which students develop in creative thinking and acting in the social work profession.
