International Social Work at HAN University of Applied Sciences

International Social Work at HAN trains you to work together with local communities in an international setting. You work systematically and with proven methods. Setting up projects. Liaising with local and international contacts. Connecting people. Your aim? To empower the individuals and communities you work with. So that they become more resilient and self-reliant. 
Today we face all kinds of global issues. Natural disasters. Migration. Climate change. Interreligious conflict. Poverty. Issues that need more than just a quick fix. That’s where you as a social worker come in. You empower communities to tackle such issues from the ground up. Always in collaboration with the involved parties. And always in a sustainable manner. Theory and practice are closely linked at HAN. Your lecturers guide you through all the current research on international social work. At the same time, you dive straight into practice. Allowing you to apply the methodologies you learn in a real work setting. 
In your 1st year you work as an intern for 1 day a week. Where? At an internationally-oriented organization in the Netherlands. From your 2nd year your internship intensifies in time, complexity and responsibility. And you have the option of going abroad for this. So you’ll have plenty of opportunities to put what you’ve learned into practice. In real communities.

Build your professional experience

In your 2nd, 3rd or 4th year you can do your internship abroad. Where you might go? That could be anywhere in the world.
You could be working at a refugee camp. Setting up a health, sports or music program in the slums of Bangalore. Or in the townships in South Africa. Work on better job opportunities for youth. Create healthy environments. Fight against air pollution during an unique bicycle project in Morocco. In collaboration with local professionals and possibly together with a student from another discipline. 
In your 4th year you get hands-on experience at designing and conducting your very own research project. The type of research? Participatory action research. That means your starting point is an actual need within the community. A need you identified in your 3rd-year internship. And you won’t just make recommendations in a report. You’ll actually set up and execute the project. A project that impacts the lives of real people.
