The Social Work Degree Course is offered under the Department of Social Science among other various courses.

Bachelor of Social Work

This programme brings to the fore the philosophical, value and knowledge base of social work. The programme has been designed in a manner that blends theory with practice. The course work of the programme covers a broad spectrum of areas ranging from theoretical to practice courses.

Courses that combine theory and practice include community development, social administration and evaluation research. The practical aspect of the three courses will require students to undertake fieldwork placement exercises for a period of about two (2) months during their second and third years of training respectively.

Ultimately, the Bachelor of Social Work degree programme equips students with the knowledge and skills to intervene in a variety of socio-economic situations at both micro and macro levels of social work practice. Notable areas where students could develop competence include social problem identification and resolution, social policy development and analysis, planning, evaluation research, social administration, and counselling.
