Classroom-based sessions at the university alternate with periods of self-study. These are covered by both conventional teaching/learning materials and e-learning. This ensures that learning can largely take place independently of time and location. There are no lectures during the Saxony school holidays. This allows us to ensure a good work-life balance.
The bachelor's programme takes into account the special situation of working people by limiting attendance at the university to two weekends per month and a one-week attendance phase (block course) at the end of the semester. Classes are usually held twice a month on Fridays from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The monthly attendance time thus comprises 24 teaching hours (each lasting 45 minutes). A separate schedule is created for each semester. The dates of the attendance times are known well in advance, so that you can plan your own professional activities.
The combination of theory and practice is a fundamental part of the study concept. Your parallel professional activity means that you already have the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge you have acquired from your studies in vocational education in practice. Therefore, you do not need to complete any external internships. Our practical teaching will draw on examples from your everyday working life in practical transfer and reflection seminars.
Our teaching content focuses on the phases of life known as childhood and youth (up to the age of 27). The programme will give you an understanding of social science perspectives, methodological skills and basic legal knowledge. The social management component gives our programme a unique profile compared to other locations in Saxony.
What you can expect:
The standard duration of study is 9 semesters.
If applicants already have prior educational training from vocational training as a state-recognised educator or state-recognised remedial therapist, this prior knowledge will be credited. Students will be placed in the 4th semester, thus shortening the duration of study to 6 semesters (3 years).
