Social Work
Traineeship
Professional practice is an essential part of our educational program. All competences that are needed for our students to be able to work as a starting social worker, are trained and practiced here.
The internship takes place in different professional fields where social workers can practise their activities.
We offer internships in social services of schools (student guidance), hospitals, juvenile court, in mental health care, in first-line assistance, in homeless shelters, mutual insurance companies, labor unions, social movements, cultural and social artistic organisations, etc.
During the internship the student will learn and train the skills and competences which are needed to work with people, to assist people. The student will work in a team setting and will be trained and coached in order to act more and more autonomous as a beginning social worker. The student is supervised and assisted by the institution’s internship supervisor as well as by a supervisor within the organisation.
Language proficiency: fluent (at least B2) in Dutch or French

Perspectives on Social & Spatial Justice
Students gain knowledge and an understanding of the complexities of social and spatial justice through lectures, external activities and working lectures. This promotes their global citizenship and critical attitude towards social issues. In doing so, they explore themes from a rather theoretical point of view.

Co-Create Labs: Skills for Change
The course component focuses on developing transdisciplinary skills through hands-on activities and external visits or workshops. Students learn the added value of interdisciplinarity and how to collaborate on innovative solutions from different disciplines. They also explore the concept of transdisciplinarity and how it can be translated research-wise. Therefore it includes strengthening the research competences of (international) students from an interdisciplinary point of view.

Professional Practice and Impact: Internship for Fair Futures
Students gain practical experience through workplace learning and integrate together with fellow students their ‘transdisciplinary’ research in practice, supported by coaching and working lectures. This fosters their entrepreneurial spirit and ability to work in diverse teams and develop innovative solutions.

Campus Bloemenhof & Kanal
Campus Bloemenhof
Courses for this programme can be held at both the Bloemenhof campus and the Kanal campus.
Campus Bloemenhof is located in the city centre of Brussels. It is on the charming Bloemenhofplein, near the Dansaert district. The square looks particularly picturesque and dates back to the Middle Ages (Zespenningenstraat used to be one of the city gates where tolls were collected).
The biggest asset of this campus: the large roof terrace where you can have lunch and enjoy the beautiful view. It is rightly the showpiece of this campus. The city centre with its shops, restaurants and historic buildings is within walking distance.

On this new campus, we are committed to working closely with the neighbourhood, both in terms of lunch spots for students and activities with the surrounding schools.
Campus Kanal is an environment where learning can take place in a variety of locations, at a variety of times and in a variety of forms. In the building you will find modular classrooms, practical classrooms (e.g. a hair and beauty salon), an outdoor classroom and learning spaces where students and teachers can plan (in)formal learning moments.
