International Social Work
The world of today no longer faces social issues confined within borders. Inequality, displacement, polarization and the climate crisis are deeply interconnected. This master’s program trains you to become a critical, reflective social professional who can work across cultures and contexts to co-create just and viable social practices.
The full-time International Social Work program takes 1 year and covers 2 semesters. The key focus? Developing critical praxis and carrying out community-engaged research in real social contexts - often together with international partners. During your program, you learn to analyze complex social issues, understand global–local connections, and challenge harmful practices. You also learn how to design research that contributes to social justice and more viable ways of living and working together. In this year, you shape your own learning journey as you grow into a reflective and ethical international social worker.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
- ECTS kreditų išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs aukštosios mokyklos, būtina prisegti ECTS kreditų išrašą, kuriame būtų matyti, kokius dalykus Tu mokeisi bei kokius pažymius ir kiek kreditų už juos gavai. Kai siunti anketą paskutiniame kurse, diplomą reikia prisegti vėliau, kai tik jį gausi.
- Bakalauro diplomas – jei jau esi baigęs aukštąją mokyklą, išrašo nereikia, užtenka prie anketos prisegti savo Bakalauro diplomą.
