Course Aims

The Social Workers Registration Board (SWRB) requires the Programme to provide a minimum of 800 hours of practicum and additional 100 hours of teaching and learning activities related to practicum. The course SS6292 Fieldwork II is designed to partially fulfil the requirement set by the SWRB, i.e. 400 hours of fieldwork practice.

In Fieldwork II, full-time students of cohort 2014 or before are required to take their placement in concurrent mode, while full-time students of cohort 2015 and thereafter are required to take their placement in block mode. Part-time students of cohort 2014 or before are required to take their placement either in block mode or concurrent mode, while students of cohort 2015 and thereafter are required to take their placement in concurrent mode only. Part-time students who work in a social service setting are allowed to take one of their practicum (either SS6291 or SS6292) in their employment agency.

Starting from 2016/17, both full-time & part-time students of cohort 2015 and thereafter will be allowed to take one non-local practicum outside Hong Kong subjected to the approval of the Department.
