Course Description
Leuphana’s M.Sc. in Social Work Research equips graduates to investigate, explain, and improve social work practice through rigorous, project-based inquiry. Students learn to design and conduct empirical studies, connect theory and method, and communicate findings with societal relevance. Small-group supervision, an academic internship, and early exposure to university teaching foster an applied research profile. The English-taught program blends interdisciplinary perspectives, advanced methods, and attention to research ethics and science communication—ideal preparation for an academic pathway, including an optional doctoral track within the Graduate School’s research community.
Designed for graduates in Social Work, Social Pedagogy, Education, Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, or related fields who are curious, research-oriented, and committed to social impact. The program suits candidates who enjoy empirical inquiry, theory-driven analysis, and collaborative projects, and who seek to qualify for academic paths or research roles in practice-oriented institutions.
