Specialists with a sound professional foundation
With a Bachelor of Social Education you will get an all-round pedagogical education, and at the same time you will specialize in one particular target group and an aesthetic subject of your interest. For example you can specialize in working with infants or youth, working in a residential institution or in community work, and you can choose from a number of aesthetic subjects such as arts and crafts, music or drama to mention a few.
With two unique campuses and study programmes we give you the opportunity to choose the campus and programme that suits your personality and interests.
We have structured the two programmes into modules of similar lengths, so that each of our campuses offers modules in a specific field at the same time. This means that you have the option of transferring from one campus to another and you can choose to do so for a short period or for a longer period, depending on your study goals. You have many options - it is up to you to choose.
The basic subjects and subject modules of the programme are:
- Educational Theory: 43 ECTS credits.

Through the three compulsory subjects the student will achieve competence in understanding and evaluating the working conditions of a social educator. The subjects help enable the student to analyse and evaluate opportunities and limitations in pedagogical work and to implement, communicate and substantiate its goals.
Through the optional main subject the student will achieve competence in implementing educational activities that develop, inspire and stimulate the users’ lives and improve their welfare. The social educator shall master a main subject and thereby be able to motivate and engage the users and inspire interest and creativity through innovative use of the means and devices available.

The study programme includes an interprofessional module: 8 ECTS credits, comprised of elements from the basic subjects and modules.
