First semester students are informed about the internships during their studies as part of the module "Introduction to Studies" - lecture series "Perspectives on Social Work". Further up-to-date information is provided via Moodle.

In the lecture series "Perspectives on Social Work" on 31.10.24, the brochure on the practical phases from the start of the winter semester 24/25 was distributed. It is also available as a PDF in the download area of the Practice Office. The brochure contains binding information on all matters relevant to the internship.

The compulsory internships of the Bachelor's degree program in Social Work are currently not registered via Unisono. Before or at the beginning of the internship, pages 1 and 2 of the form must be completed with the internship site and approved by the lecturer in the methods seminar of the summer semester. After the internship, the originals of all 4 pages must be submitted to the internship office.

There is a checklist to assist with the organization of internships and the associated events/study achievements, which can be accessed in the Downloads Praxisamt / Studienbegleitende Praktika section.

The recommended time for internships is the lecture-free period between the summer and winter semesters! However, you can arrange the period variably according to your time possibilities and the requirements of the internships within the following options:

• A maximum of 20 out of a total of 50 internship days can be completed during the lecture-free period of the winter semester before the start of the courses in the summer semester (in module elements 11.2/12.2).
• The remaining 30 practical days may only be completed at the start of the associated methods seminar in the summer semester. Please note: This start date may differ from the regular start of lectures!
• At least 25 practical days must have been completed by the time of the reflection seminar in 11.3 or 12.3. In addition, the entire internship must be completed by the end of the lecture period in the winter semester!
• The time periods must be specified in the form for practical phase I on page 1. The checklist is also a good aid for the process.

For approval of the internship in the early version, please contact the internship office/department (Ms. Szauer or Ms. Wilden) before the start of the internship!

Submission of all 4 pages of the form Pflichtpraktikum nach dem Praktikum in the original with the signatures by mail or drop in the red mailbox of the Praxisamt on the corridor AR-K 100 . Copies will not be processed. Altered forms (Tipp-Ex, overwriting or similar) may be requested again. A copy of the form for your own documents must be made independently before submission.

State recognition can be applied for with the Bachelor's degree in Social Work (PO 2018, FPO 2020 and ÄO 2024).

Bachelor's thesis supervisors will be contacted by the Practice Office around the middle/end of the processing period with information on how to apply for state recognition. Enclosed with this letter is an application form and a pre-prepared letter for applying for a so-called extended certificate of good conduct. The certificate of good conduct is valid for 3 months, so a good time to apply is when the Bachelor's thesis has been submitted. This certificate of good conduct is sent directly to the Praxisamt by the authorities. The completed application must only be sent to the Praxisamt in the original after the degree recorded in Unisono.
