Objective
Students recognise international discussions on social work and are able to apply an international perspective to the development of social services.
Content
International view points of social policy and social work for example in comparative research. If students are interested, this course can be combined with a trip abroad. The course can also involve cooperation with a university in another country. The possible cooperation influences on
the content. One possibility is to study welfare and social services in Finland in comparison to other countries.
