Protestant University of Applied Sciences in Freiburg

[EduCativ]

We have been a state-accredited university since 1971. The German Council of Science and Humanities has rated our educational quality as excellent. All programs of study are accredited.
We are a small university with around 1000 students. We still take great care to foster close contact between students and lecturers, avoiding anonymous and impersonal mass events and overcrowded lectures.
With our hands-on practical training, we ensure a fast career entry: 89% of our graduates have entered into employment within a year after graduating.
Our research is carried out on an international level under the umbrella of FIVE – Forschungs- und Innovationsverbund a der Evangelischen Hochschule e.V. (Research and Innovation Group at the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Freiburg), with the critical research areas revolving around gender research, childhood education, civil society, and demographic change.
We also have a lot to offer professionals: Masters's degree programs, certified advanced education, qualifications, and symposiums. We make obtaining a doctorate possible through cooperation with universities and universities of education.
Internationalization is actively engaged throughout the whole university - for international and intercultural competencies are essential for (almost) everyone nowadays, not only when planning to work abroad. All Bachelor programs include the option of theory- and practice-oriented semesters of study and internships or short programs to be carried out abroad. We cooperate with around twenty partner universities worldwide: Belém, Copenhagen, Seville, or Vienna. Starting with the winter semester 2015/2016, the Bachelor program Social Work has offered the special certificate "International Social Work." Students opting for the additional qualification RECOS – cooperation between universities from the Germany / France / Switzerland tripoint - will gain knowledge about the political, economic, legal, and social situation in our neighboring countries and the challenges that social work and education are currently facing.
Studying abroad does not leave you strapped for cash; we offer financial support in the form of various scholarships or grants: ERASMUS+, Baden-Württemberg scholarships, UNIBRAL, PROMOS, and Brot für die Welt (Bread for the World – Protestant Development Service).
Students completing their degree in Germany without an integrated study abroad program are still able to gain international and intercultural experiences at our university: we invite lecturers and students from partner universities to Freiburg regularly, as well as experts from foreign companies and institutions, which allow them to share their perspectives and worldviews with us in seminars and lectures.
The International Office of the university gives advice and support to students with an immigrant background and students from abroad. Our special offers include support by student tutors and lecturers, seminars "German for non-native speakers," and special scholarships from DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service).
Our university offers various formats to pursue advanced scientific education for different professional fields: ranging from symposiums or seminars to Masters's degree programs. You will develop and expand competencies for your current or future career fields. You will secure your employment and pave the way for professional progress.

This Masters's program aims to bring forth leadership qualities based on ethics and personal reflection essential to shaping a charitable organization's profile.
