The Master of Arts in Social Work as a Human Rights Profession (MA-SWHR) is a research-oriented, partially internet-based programme, combining the field of social work with human rights issues. Social work and human rights are frequently encountered when working with vulnerable groups such as children or migrants, or when working on issues relating to the right to health, the social problem of poverty, social exclusion, gender discrimination, or the problem of racism. The main aim of the MA-SWHR is the translation of the often very abstract and appellative human rights discourse into the theory and practice of social work. This objective is strongly linked to the development of a general professional self-conception based on the "triple mandate of social work", meaning that the universally known "double mandate of social work" on behalf of the addressees and the society/providers is complemented by a third mandate on behalf of the profession: this consists of science-based theories of action and intervention as well as the principles of the profession's code of ethics.
