Social Management

A degree in social management opens up a wide range of career paths in positions of responsibility. Your prospects could be

• Management positions at public authorities, charities or independent organisations (e.g. as head of department or division)
• Management of a social organisation
• Taking over strategic planning positions
• Founding and managing start-ups in the social sector
• Promotion to higher pay scale groups (e.g. from E11 to E13)

The degree programme prepares you for the complex demands placed on modern managers in the social sector. You will deal intensively with management concepts and ethics and build a solid foundation in the areas of law and business administration. This includes essential topics such as company and labour law, financial accounting, cost management and the specific forms of financing in the social economy.

Another focus is on the organisation, planning and management of social institutions. You will learn all about employee management and personnel management and deal with the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation and artificial intelligence in social work. Your profile will be rounded off with modules on innovation management, sustainability and social research so that you can not only manage social organisations, but also develop them in a visionary way.
