This program aims at training professionals qualifying for recognized social work qualification (RSW) at the Master’s degree level.  It aims to train students in becoming competent social work practitioners working in a variety of social service settings.  It aspires to train students becoming ethically-oriented social work practitioners being competent, reflective and good in professional practice.

Upon successful completion of this Programme, students should be able to:
1. Use appropriate knowledge, theories and demonstrate skills in social work in order to become competent and professional in their practice;
2. Reflect on their own practice so that they can intellectually construct, articulate and evaluate their own philosophy and practice in reference to social work values and ethics;
3. Demonstrate the ability to integrate theory in practice in an innovative way, discover and examine culturally relevant social work practice; 
4. Evaluate professional activities and service programs, changing social needs and advocacy for appropriate welfare reforms and service delivery.

The Social Workers Registration Board has just completed the Qualification Recognition Review Visit to this Programme on 26 and 27 February 2015. The Visit Panel agreed to the addition of these 6 new courses to the Programme to strengthen the professional RSW (Registered Social Worker) training for practice.
