Programme content

The six-semester programme is offered by the Department of Social Policy and Social Security Studies at the H-BRS in close cooperation with the Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (DGUV), the German statutory accident insurance body. Students graduate with the academic degree of Bachelor of Arts (BA). The goal of the programme is to qualify students for higher-level roles within social insurance companies, in particular with statutory accident insurance companies. The dual bachelor’s degree programme in Social Security Management - Accident Insurance (BA) offers a practical orientation and a scientific foundation in one. The H-BRS programme is rounded off by several two-month work placements and a five-month final work placement.

The bachelor’s degree programme is run by the Department of Social Policy and Social Security Studies at the H-BRS. The Department covers different academic disciplines, which work with an equal balance under the umbrella of Social Security Studies. Here, integrative interdisiplinarity is offered, for example with the fields of economics, medicine, legal studies, computer studies and case management. Students of the bachelor’s degree programme in Social Security benefit from this variety of academic perspectives and familiarise themselves with their area of specialism through a series of perspectives.
