The Institute of Social Work is part of the Department of Building, Environment and Society. The degree programmes of the Institute intentionally combine the traditional social work profession with topics of societal relevance such as eco-social innovation, the challenges brought about by migration and issues of social distribution.<\/p>\n

Research fields<\/h5>\n

The Institute engages in professional processes giving people access to systems such as education, housing, healthcare, employment etc., while also reflecting on structural conditions and promoting social accessibility and social inclusion.<\/p>\n

Research in social management will place special emphasis on the impact of poverty on the basic needs of housing and energy as well as socially compatible development and communication of technological innovations. A specific focus will be on older people and people with a migration background and\/or a high risk of poverty.<\/p>\n
