If your default setting is compassion, and if your natural inclination is to help, and you want to offer support in the face of adversity, the Social Service Worker program will give you the education and skills you need to make your empathy make a true difference in the lives of people who need help.
In this social work program, you will build a sound knowledge of human behaviour and psychology, individual and social problems, and learn proven techniques to prepare you for social service work in social agencies and social welfare programs.
You’ll work with supportive, friendly and experienced faculty and advisors who are committed to help you succeed, and you’ll take part in role-plays, counselling labs and case studies, and take in presentations from professional social workers and clients. You’ll gain invaluable experience in a variety of field placements in London, with its extensive social service and health community resources.
Social work is a competitive field. You’ll graduate with practical skills and hands-on experience that will help you work in this in-demand field, whether it’s in public or private social agencies and social welfare programs. You see the need. You see the problems. You can help.
