The Bachelor of Social Work degree programme conducted by the NISD aims to produce professional social workers with a good grasp of social work values, capable of managing social welfare services, competent to engage in quality teaching and research and promote peace and harmony in a multi-ethnic Sri Lanka.
The Bachelor’s degree course in Social Work is a full time four year programme. It is conducted in eight semesters, through class room lessons, on-site-teaching-learning methods and guided field practice. Within the four year study period, two fieldwork placements (in the 2nd & 4th years) are conducted. In these two Block field placements, students learn the practice of social work in communities and agencies under the close supervision of trained professional social workers. The placements are full time and conducted during a total time period of twenty four weeks. This professional course anticipates the students to be committed learners working with people in need.
