Social Work – MA

Social work is a values-based profession that places primacy on the well-being of individuals, groups, families and communities, particularly those who experience multiple dimensions of vulnerability. Social workers aim to give voice to traditionally marginalised populations and never lose sight of the importance of fighting for social justice.

The aim of this programme is to prepare students to successfully engage in social work practice in an ever-increasing complex world. The programme will arm students with the knowledge, values and skills necessary to meaningfully assess and treat a variety of challenges via the conscious use of the best evidence from the literature to guide practice.

The MSW programme is highly practice-oriented, requiring students to actively participate in class activities, including role-plays.
