Aims

The main aim is to enable students to analyse and handle challenging and complex client relations in which both children and adults are involved.

Prerequisites

All first and second year courses, as well as course one and two in the third year, must be passed. Also the bachelor thesis must have been submitted. The course builds on most of the basic competence which may be expected from a social worker, thus students are required to have knowledge from all previous courses within the social work bachelor programme.

Contents

Students gain further knowledge of ethics, focussing professional ethics generally and ethical questions related to social work specifically. They will develop their competence and ability to work with people in vulnarable situations, and they will have the opportunity to experience and handle conflicts. Students will be introduced to the most common psychiatric conditions and they will be familiar with various questions related to addiction. Further, students will acquire knowledge of judicial and social questions connected to the use of force within child care and the social services. The organisation and main services of the social security court is another main topic.
