Salient Features
Why MSW on TU?
Social work is the disciplined activity professionals in a community do to bring about societal changes. It is also a field where different research programs are conducted to improve the lives and development of society. In social work, not only professionals participate, but also nonprofessionals help social workers for the betterment of society and themselves.
Social workers engage in various activities, such as research, policy development, community organizing, and teaching. These efforts identify societal problems, allowing individuals to take action and improve in areas where they may be lacking.
Social work requires different theories from economics, education, medicine, politics, psychology, and sociology. Today, social work is the backbone of society and has become a profession. I opted for this career despite being deprived of a high education due to a lack of money.
