Mainz serves as a vibrant backdrop for the CBS International Business School's dual study programme in Social Work, where students immerse themselves in a blend of academic rigour and hands-on professional experience. Located in the heart of the Rhine-Main region, the programme leverages the city's extensive network of social institutions, ranging from youth welfare services to integration projects and healthcare facilities.

This dual-model curriculum is designed for those who wish to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. By integrating practical phases within local social organisations, students gain critical insights into professional consulting, case management, and societal support structures while often earning a salary during their studies. The CBS approach emphasises personal development, individual mentorship, and a strong professional network, ensuring graduates are exceptionally well-prepared for the complexities of modern social services.
