WebsiteLeitbild Soziale ArbeitMission Statement: Social Work We design the Social Work program as an interdisciplinary team through constructive negotiation processes, grounded in individual responsibility in research and teaching, and in dialogue with students, university stakeholders, and professionals in the field. We pursue an inclusive approach. Students should be able to participate equally in their studies and feel comfortable at the university, regardless of gender, background, religion, mental or physical condition, socioeconomic status, age, etc. We are committed to comprehensive accessibility. Diversity is the norm in society; it is our present and our future, which is why we uphold an attitude of respect, acceptance, and empathy. As a discipline of social work, we shape scholarship by participating in academic, interdisciplinary discourses both within and outside the university and by generating scientific insights through research. Curiosity opens the door to the world and to scholarship. We are curious and see ourselves as teachers who are always learning. By viewing teaching as a way to spark curiosity, we impart theoretical and action-oriented knowledge, as well as current sociopolitical insights, and facilitate the development of competencies and self-awareness. The program fosters the development of a self-assured, professional social work mindset and a personality characterized by inquiry, critical reflection, and active engagement. In this way, we contribute to education that is fit for the future. Social Work Mission Statement - Part 2 We are experts in knowledge transfer both within and outside the university. A core focus of our program is the reciprocal exchange between theory and practice. Knowledge transfer is not a one-way street, but rather a dialogical, relational process of mutual learning and understanding. To this end, we collaborate with industry partners in Augsburg and throughout the region. We also bring social issues and questions into our university and foster interdisciplinary discourse within the organization. Practical work takes place locally. Our connection to the region is therefore of the utmost importance to us. With our expertise and innovative spirit, we see ourselves as a driving force in the region. At the same time, we also engage with state-wide, national, and international frameworks for social work and help shape processes at all levels. On the international level, we collaborate with universities, field-based organizations, and associations, and promote exchanges among students and faculty. Against the backdrop of the most pressing crisis of our century—the climate crisis—with its dramatic social consequences, we see it as our responsibility to initiate, promote, and help shape efforts toward a socio-ecological transformation—that is, toward a sustainable and solidarity-based way of life. Through teaching, research, and knowledge transfer—as representatives of our university as well as of the field of social work—we contribute to social justice and the protection of human rights.

The equipment can be found on a shelf near the group workrooms. The collection is based on the courses offered by THA: DesignMultimediaBusiness and EconomicsComputer ScienceArchitectureCivil EngineeringMechanical EngineeringEnvironmental and Process EngineeringElectrical EngineeringMechatronicsSocial Work The library's collection is organized by subject area: Academic Research, Higher Education (AK, AL)Media and Communication Studies, Design (AM-AP)Environmental Protection (AR)Philosophy, Psychology (C)Social Sciences (D)Languages (E-K)Art, Architecture (L)Sociology, Political Science (M)Economics and Law (P, Q)Mathematics (SK)Computer Science (ST)General Natural Sciences, Physics, Chemistry (T-V)Engineering in General (ZG)Architecture, Civil Engineering (ZH, ZI)Mechanical Engineering (ZL, ZM)Electrical Engineering (ZN)Energy Engineering, Measurement Technology, Mechatronics (ZQ) The collection is based on the university’s course offerings and is organized according to the Regensburg Classification System (RVK). The shelfmark is like a book's address in the library. It consists of numbers and letters. The books in the library are sorted alphanumerically by shelfmark. Each book on the shelf has a label on the spine that displays the shelfmark. This allows you to use the shelfmark to quickly locate a specific book among the many bookshelves. You can find the shelfmark in the library catalog. A shelfmark consists of various elements. For example: 160 ZL 7600 B835-2(6)+1 160 = Location (in the example: items available for checkout in the reading room)ZL 7600 = Subject group (in this example: General refrigeration technology)B835 = Author code (in the example: Breidenbach, Karl)In addition, a volume (-2)and the edition ((6)).The call number is supplemented by the copy count (+1). Here’s how to find the book on the shelves: First, check which shelfmark is listed. This determines whether the book is available to you in the reading room. If the book is located, for example, in the stacks or in a department room, you can request it or simply contact us.Using the floor plan, you can then head to the correct section of the library (e.g., the southeast corner marked ZL).Next, look for the labels on the sides of the shelves and locate the specific subject group (e.g., ZL 7600).Now walk down the row of shelves and look for the section where books are shelved with shelfmark labels that include the subject group and the author code (e.g., ZL 7600 B).Now all you have to do is search alphanumerically for the book whose spine label bears the exact call number you are looking for (e.g., ZL 7600 B835-2(6)+1). Location numbers Printed books The reading room contains approximately 48,000 books. These are organized by subject area. Older, rarely used materials are stored in the stacks and can be requested through the library catalog.

Our exchange program allows you to study at THA for 1–2 semesters. As an exchange student, you’ll come to Augsburg from abroad and enroll in regular courses here, either in German or English. For the duration of the exchange, you’ll be enrolled at both your home university and the THA, and you can generally use the ECTS earned at the THA for your degree program back home. This way, you’ll gain international experience, meet new people, and experience Germany firsthand. Here's what your time at THA will look like Your time at THA begins with the Welcome and Orientation Week. For the winter semester, you’ll arrive in Augsburg between September 15 and 30; for the summer semester, between March 1 and 14. During this time, you’ll get to know the university, your campus, and your faculty. You’ll receive important information to help you get started with your studies, set up your THA user account, and take care of some initial administrative tasks. You’ll also get to know Augsburg right away: a guided city tour will give you a first impression of your new home. You can also take part in a German Survival Crash Course and start making connections with other international students. After that, your exchange semester will really get underway. The winter semester runs from October 1 to March 14, and the summer semester from March 15 to September 30. You’ll attend the courses you’ve chosen, earn ECTS, and study alongside students from Germany and around the world. Of course, there will still be time outside of your studies to explore Augsburg and the surrounding region. The city combines over 2,000 years of history with a vibrant student life, culture, sports, and plenty of nature. Whether it’s cafés, concerts, university sports, festivals, swimming lakes, or day trips to the surrounding area—you won’t get bored here anytime soon. At the end of your stay, it’s time for your exams. In the winter semester, the exam period usually runs from January 15 to February 14. In the summer semester, you’ll typically take your exams from July 15 to July 31. During your stay, you’ll be part of an international community. You’ll meet people from many different countries, take part in events and activities, and can make Augsburg your home away from home. And eventually, it’s time to say goodbye. Then you’ll head back home, with many new experiences, international connections, and hopefully plenty of great memories to take with you. Which courses do you want to pick? For your exchange semester, you’ll put together your Learning Agreement (see section 3 in “How to apply for your exchange”) from the courses offered. We recommend taking 15 to 30 ECTS per semester. You can usually find the courses offered by your faculty on their website. An overview of most courses offered in English is available here. It’s possible that not all courses listed on our website will be offered during your exchange semester. Therefore, check with your faculty or your International Faculty Coordinator (IFC) if you’re unsure. In general, you can also choose courses from other departments. However, they should be relevant to your degree program at your home university. Final admission is granted by the respective faculty or IFC. Please also note that certain courses require specific prerequisites. Not sure which courses are right for you? Then contact your faculty’s IFC. He or she will be happy to help you choose your courses. You can also adjust your Learning Agreement during Welcome and Orientation Week if needed. Since the detailed semester schedule won’t be finalized until later, the courses you can choose may still change before the semester begins.

Matching the pairs How are professional mentors and professional mentees paired? A tandem always consists of one mentor and her mentee. A mentor may also mentor multiple mentees; these are then considered separate tandems. International tandems are also possible, so we ask during registration whether mentoring can take place in German or English. We deliberately do not match based solely on professional expertise; instead, we also take shared interests and the mentee’s specific mentoring needs into account during the matching process. Professional expertise is important, but it is often just one criterion for a successful mentoring relationship! Matches are made based on suggestions from Matorixmatch, a custom-developed matching tool that takes into account not only your professional field but also personal interests, areas of focus, and more, thereby suggesting the best possible matches. We then carefully review these suggestions and approve them if they are a good fit. It’s especially important to us that you—whether as a mentor or a mentee—feel comfortable with your tandem partner. That’s why it’s not just your field of study that matters! Getting to know each other personally is the top priority. A tandem pairing can be rematched if it doesn’t work out. In that case, please feel free to contact us. WebsiteAcademic ProgramsDegree Programs Find the offer that's right for you here.
