In the social sector, management qualifications are becoming increasingly important. Social work institutions, as well as public and non-profit social service administrations, are undergoing significant changes. The key skills needed to navigate these changes lie at the intersection of social pedagogical expertise and management knowledge.

This part-time postgraduate program equips students with the knowledge and qualifications needed to adapt and apply modern management methods and business expertise to the diverse fields of social work.
The program prepares students for leadership roles within the social sector. Graduates will be equipped to manage organizations and services effectively in an environment of increasing cost and competition, applying modern management techniques to social work settings.
