Management in social professions (B. A.)

How can modern organisations and processes be designed to be efficient?

Social care organisations face a wide range of challenges: increasing societal demands, a shortage of skilled staff, growing organisational complexity and the need to deliver high-quality care. The part-time Bachelor’s degree in Management in Social Care is aimed at professionals who wish to take on responsibility and actively drive forward development in the social care sector.

You will acquire sound management skills – ranging from personnel management and team development through to organisational and project management, and quality and process design. At the same time, you will strengthen your communication and interpersonal skills to motivate staff, resolve conflicts constructively and support change processes.

This qualification opens the door to leadership roles in nurseries, social service networks, educational and care institutions, as well as roles in process and interface management. In this way, you will shape social work in an effective, value-driven and sustainable manner.

In the B.A. Management in Social Professions degree programme, there is a competence-oriented recognition of knowledge and skills acquired professionally and outside of higher education as well as prior academic achievements. This ensures that students do not have to study content in which they have already acquired equivalent competences.
The following competences can be recognised:
- Advanced training
- Professional skills
- Achievements from degree programmes at other colleges and universities

Depending on your previous education, the crediting of competences can shorten the duration of your studies by several semesters. Make a non-binding enquiry to contact the IAW team at Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences and find out more about credit transfer.

Future fields of activity and opportunities are in managerial functions, e.g. management (deputy management) of kindergartens/daycare centres; management of facility networks, but also in process/interface management.

You can find the accreditation status or the accreditation certificate on the website for quality management.
