CAREER
The increased mobility of people, especially the labour force, in today's world has set new demands for social work and its professionals. The need for experts with skills to understand cultural diversity, international contexts of social issues, as well as a comparative approach to different societies has increased not only in the Barents region, but the world over. Graduates from the programme can work, for example, as social workers in multicultural environments as well as experts in international projects and tasks in the social sphere. In addition, the graduates will have a possibility to continue toward obtaining a doctoral degree.
