Master of Social Work (MSW) is the two-year postgraduate degree that follows BSW or BASW, moving from front-line practice to programme design, supervision and policy.
It covers advanced social work practice, social policy, project planning and management, monitoring and evaluation, and research, with a supervised field placement and a dissertation.
Graduates take senior roles in NGOs and INGOs, government social welfare offices, hospitals and research organisations.
