Department of Social Work
The Department of Social Work believes in equal rights and opportunities for all students. Should you want to become a social worker, we want to support you throughout your study journey. You can decide whether you want to declare your disability in your application and registration form or not. However, if you decide not to, we will not be aware of your individual needs.
