Online based Study Program: Human Development and Leadership in Cross-Cultural Dialogue (B.A.)

Does this course of study make sense for you?

This course of study is addressed to people, who - besides family and job - want to extend their qualification on the field of social-pedagogics or social-work and thus acquire the first academic degree Bachelor of Arts. The BA also opens up access to higher qualification at highschools, respectively for other certified ways of advanced education.

Job prospects with the B.A. in "Social Work"

Youthwork, Youth Social Work
Educational Work, "Diakonie"- Social Welfare Work and all other fields of activity of social work

Temporary commitment - up to which extend?

The B.A.-Course of Study is designed according to the so-called Credit Point System: 1 CP is the measure for 30 hours of work. The BA comprises 180 CP = 5.400 hours (= workload) spread on 4 years:

as "Contact-time" = beeing present at the YMCA-University Kassel, approx. 4 weeks a year, or
as "Private-study-time" or "Team-work" on the learning platform Moodle (individual time-management). You can expect a weekly work effort of approx. 2o hours.

The prescribed period of study amounts to 4 years (semester). It is recommended to reduce working time of employment.

Practical experience- assessed in which way?

Internships are included in study. If you are able to reflect your occupational practice in a theory-based critical manner, together with a subject-qualified tutor, you can declare this occupation as an "accompanied practice"- if it is a study-relevant field of work.

What does the study cost?

The study-fees are calculated according to the "Credit Points" (1 CP = 30 hours) of a module (1 CP = 80 €; up to a total of 180 CP = 14.400 €) inclusively all study materials, examination charges and etcetera. Additionally access to the interactive learning platform "Moodle". Study fees will not increase if the duration of study has to be extended. The study fees will be calculated over a monthly advanced payment of 280 €. In addition expenses for travelling to the presence-units to the university Kassel, lodging and boarding at the YMCA seminar center (CVJM-Tagungshaus) on the campus will arise.

Important: Employees often support extra-occupational training by an advanced-training-budget. Moreover these expenses are tax deductible. Besides the chances for career, higher salary and pay scale grouping increase for successfull graduates.
