The primary objective of the academically oriented follow-up Master's degree programme Ethics in Social Work is to build upon a comprehensive professional bachelor's education in social work and to further deepen students’ knowledge, particularly in areas where social work is closely connected with ethics. The programme aims to equip students with the ability for independent and critical thinking and to navigate situations in which value systems conflict within the context of social work, including developing students’ skills in managing social services and coordinating participants in the helping process. Students are required to obtain at least 120 credits during their studies: credits from all compulsory courses, the prescribed minimum number of credits from compulsory elective courses, and the remaining credits from optional courses. The programme is completed with a state final examination, consisting of an oral exam in ethics in social work and the defence of a master’s thesis (60–90 pages
