Students with an existing foundation in social work who want to deepen their expertise and focus on complex issues will find the Soziale Arbeit (M.A.) programme at the Katholische Hochschule Nordrhein-Westfalen an excellent choice. Offering five specialisations, including Klinisch-therapeutische Soziale Arbeit and Innovationsmanagement in der Sozialen Arbeit, the programme is designed to prepare students for leadership roles in the field.

All four campuses — Aachen, Köln, Münster, and Paderborn — offer this programme, ensuring students can choose a location that best suits their needs. Each specialisation integrates applied research, allowing students to engage with real-world issues and develop practical solutions. For example, those interested in clinical and therapeutic social work can delve into diagnostic techniques and method competencies.

The programme's duration is 4 semesters, culminating in a Master of Arts degree.
