Governance of Social Work

The Master’ in Governance of Social Work study course is the correct course for you when you already hold management, leadership and steering positions in social work institutions and organisations, or would like to assume these roles after your Master's degree.

The degree programme will prepare you for responding to a wide variety of target groups, to be able to recognise their needs and to find practicable solutions. In addition to the identified social needs, you will also be able to consider economic, legal and financial requirements.
