Social Work

(Sociaal Werk) In the AD Social Work program, you learn to support people with personal problems and challenges in their daily lives. You develop skills in conducting conversations, client guidance, and creating care plans. The program combines theoretical knowledge about human behavior, social systems, and assistance methodologies with intensive practical training. You learn to work with different target groups such as young people with behavioral problems, people with disabilities, or families in crisis. Core subjects include communication and conversation skills, social psychology, care ethics, and case management. What makes this AD unique compared to the full HBO bachelor's degree is the direct focus on practical assistance and quick entry into the job market. You complete extensive internships at institutions such as youth care, mental health services, housing corporations, or welfare organizations. Practice-oriented projects include guiding real clients under supervision and developing educational materials. This program is perfect for you if you enjoy working directly with people, are empathetic, and want to quickly start working as a professional in the social sector.
