International dimensions in social work have until now been relatively poorly represented in social work education in Germany. This contribution starts with a description of historical developments in social work education in Germany with respect to international dimensions. Following this, current discourses in international social work are briefly sketched, partly to point out the significance and range of international dimensions for the development of the discipline and the profession of social work, and partly to give an outline of the relevant discourses which need to be addressed in social work education. Against this background, this contribution describes the programme ‘Study Path INTERNATIONAL’ carried out at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, Germany, which had the aim of driving forward internationalization in social work education by means of a specific incentive system. The concept and experiences gained are analyzed with the help of Midgley’s definition of international social work education and Healy’s model of the ‘Continuums of Internationalization’, to ascertain in which dimensions and to what extent these aims could be realized.
