Bachelor of Social Work

The Bachelor of Social Work is a 4-year degree focused on training graduates dedicating their services toward people’s capabilities and advocating the development of social policies and research that identify, nurture and support these qualities to help empower them. The course aims to train Social Work graduates who understand and respect human diversity and recognize the creative and supportive potential of heterogeneous communities. The degree will comprise 32 units (subjects) studied over 8 trimesters, 4 units per a trimester session. Each trimester will comprise 13 weeks of face-to-face classes, one-week mid-trimester exam period and one-week end of session exam period. Each trimester, therefore, is contained within a 15-week block with a 2-week break between trimesters.  While there will be three trimesters per year, the third or summer trimester will be optional.
