Bachelor Dosv

At the Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule Jena, the Bachelor Dosv programme prepares students for a career in social work, involving 210 ECTS credits over three years. The programme's accreditation by international professional bodies ensures that graduates meet high standards of professional competence. The university's strong reputation for social work education is built on practical training, with the opportunity to complete a 20-week internship in an accredited institution during the programme. The programme offers specialisations in addiction support, family counselling, and nursing.

Academic advising and career support are integrated into the curriculum, including a 4-week block in the fifth semester which can be replaced with a job interview to help students find employment. The programme also offers the option to participate in international exchange programmes, allowing students to gain experience in different cultural contexts. Students can also take part in the German National Exchange Service (Austauschdienst des Deutschen Caritasverbandes) for an international placement.
