Student testimonials and publications on the master's degree in Mental Health

“As a social worker in residential support for the homeless, I feel much more confident when planning support for my clients, both in terms of psychoeducation and in my interactions with other professionals. My knowledge of mental health conditions and the overview I’ve gained of the complex support system play a particularly important role for me here.

As I’m studying for my master’s degree alongside my job, I benefit from ongoing practical experience; I can apply what I’ve learnt straight away and, as a result, retain it better. I find psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatment, the health and social science backgrounds, and crisis intervention particularly interesting. These subject areas are covered in various modules.

In the time I have set aside for my studies, I can concentrate almost exclusively on the subject matter. There’s no need to organise things like exam registrations, as these are handled on behalf of students on the master's degree in Mental Health. I also don’t miss any information, as the programme manager always reminds us of even the smallest details. I don’t have to go to the trouble of seeking out or piecing together information, as it’s all clearly organised in a Moodle course. That’s a huge relief.”

Stefanie Bauer, social worker

“The master's degree in Mental Health is broadening my specialist knowledge in the fields of psychology, psychiatry and mental health in general. It encourages self-reflection, and the connections I’ve made with my fellow students are an added bonus. At the same time, the studies provide a good balance to my day-to-day work.”

Jule Diebold, social education worker in a therapeutic residential group for young people

“The master's degree in Mental Health gives me the opportunity to deepen and broaden my theoretical understanding of the knowledge I apply in my day-to-day work, as well as to gain more in-depth practical experience. I also particularly appreciate that communication between students and lecturers takes place entirely on an equal footing, and that the lectures feel like a professional exchange amongst colleagues.”

“The modules on the master's degree in Mental Health often reflect current developments, practical relevance and fundamental knowledge. This enables me to incorporate new ideas into my work and share content that is appropriate for our clients with my team.”
