About the programme

Vill du arbeta med människor? Är du intresserad av relationer och samspelet mellan människa och omgivande samhälle? Vill du möta och bistå människor som befinner sig i utsatta och problematiska livssituationer? Då är socionomyrket någonting för dig. Du ansöker antingen till campus Umeå eller till distansprogrammet. Under hela termin fem har du handledd praktik inom Västernorrlands-, Västerbottens- eller Norrbottens län. Du kan också välja att göra den praktiken utomlands.
