School of Social Work

Application-oriented research is an important basis for the professional education and training offered by the School of Social Work and, consequently, one of the primary functions of the university. In its activities, it is closely linked to the research-oriented accredited modules of the School, particularly as independent work for the bachelor thesis. Experience and knowledge gained from research projects benefit students during teaching. For this reason, DHBW VS professors regularly undertake research projects.
