State recognition

State recognition certifies the qualifications and skills that are a prerequisite for public employment in social fields of activity.

At present, state recognition is still associated with an additional examination, which is organized by our faculty. However, it is planned that with the reaccreditation of the degree course, this will no longer be necessary for the 2022 intake and will be awarded together with the Bachelor's degree.

The aim of this Bachelor's degree programme is to qualify students to understand new scientific findings and concepts as well as socio-political goals regarding inclusion, accessibility and equal participation of people with disabilities and marginalized groups. They will be able to apply the acquired knowledge and skills professionally in educational and social professions to support, accompany and empower these people.

Inclusion is a socio-ethical concept and includes the basic understanding of a society in which belonging and the inclusion of all people in the heterogeneity of all social groups is a matter of course.

The aim is not to adapt people to existing systems, but to fundamentally include all people in social processes. This means that all people help to shape community offerings according to their needs, abilities and skills, thereby enabling participation and involvement. Inclusion aims to develop systems that reflect the diversity of people and support diversity.

This Bachelor's degree program enables students to deal with these challenges professionally in order to be able to shape inclusion competently in the future.
