Bachelor of Social Work

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

Courses which combine theory and practice include community development, social administration and evaluation research.The practical aspect of the three courses will require students to undertake field work 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.听听Notable areas where students could develop competence include social problem identification and resolution, social policy development and analysis, planning, evaluation research, social administration, and counseling.
