What our graduates say

ELLA

"Ich wollte schon immer etwas Soziales studieren. Das besondere an diesem Studium ist die Kombination aus Sozialpädagogik und Sozialmanagement vereint in einem Bachelorstudium. Daher habe ich mich bewusst für die FHD entschieden. Besonders gut gefällt mir hier der sehr gut gelungene Theorie-Praxistransfer."
Zum Interview mit Ella

Nathalie, graduate in Social Pedagogy & Management

I was convinced by the management part of this degree program because I could always imagine myself in a management position later on and I think it's important to learn the necessary skills beforehand. I already knew from the beginning of my studies that I would like to work with people with disabilities at some point, possibly also with animals. I didn't expect that I would be able to do exactly that right after graduation. Now I work as a social pedagogue with mentally ill and mentally handicapped people, especially in the field of animal-assisted intervention.  - Nathalie, graduate B.A. Social Pedagogy & Social Management

Lisa, graduate in Social Pedagogy & Management

I chose this degree program because I would like to accompany, advise and support people in their various situations and phases of life. I particularly liked the small study groups and the open-minded professors and lecturers. After graduation, there were numerous areas in which I could work. Now I work part-time as a social worker at a school in addition to my current Master's degree.

- Lisa Maire, Graduate B.A. Social Pedagogy & Social Management
