🟡 Dedicated English Social Work semester (30 ECTS) exists, but the current course list is unconfirmed
Students from this partner already study with us. 9 students from Katholische Stiftungshochschule München (KSH München), University of Applied Sciences came to the HMU Department of Social Work on Erasmus+ (2023/2024 to 2026/2027), so the two programmes already work together in one direction. This page looks at the other direction: what HMU Social Work students could take there.
English-taught programme: KSH offers a one-semester English-taught exchange programme 'Social Work: A Human Rights Based Approach' (30 ECTS, autumn term, Munich, B1 English) and a spring programme 'Acting for Sustainable Development in Societies' (30 ECTS, Benediktbeuern, March-June 2026). Regular degree courses are in German; the course list below is from the latest published (2022/23) programme and must be re-confirmed with the International Office. Incoming exchange contact: Andrea.Gavrilina@ksh-m.de.
Potential matches only. No HMU Social Work student has studied at this partner yet, so there are no recognised courses.
