Erasmus Mundus Master in Social Work with Families and Children
Description

 

The action-research project in social work with families and children aims to implement an international master's degree, including European and African universities - MFAMILY Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree. The programme enhances the knowledge and the skills needed for working internationally with interventions for vulnerable children and marginalized families.

The Erasmus Mundus project provides 139 scholarships for students, teacher mobility and lectures by Visiting Scholars from various countries.  In addition, it contributes to research with articles on innovative topics.

The programme is jointly developed by Iscte-University Institute of Lisbon, University of Gothenburg (UGOT), University of Stavanger (UiS) and Makerere University (MU).

The first semester is spent in Lisbon, Portugal, the second semester in Stavanger, Norway and the third semester in Gothenburg, Sweden before the students move to one of the four partner institutions to work on the master’s thesis. The language of instruction is English.

The aim of the programme is for students to graduate having a sound practical foundation in: understanding the diverse and varied contexts, life situations and challenges faced by children and families in Europe and selected international settings; applying skills to work appropriately in and with these contexts; using and developing research to inform knowledge and practice for working with vulnerable children and families; and applying the values of international social work.
