Curriculum Details
The foundation year introduces social work history and ethics, human behavior, and society in the Nepali context. You study basic sociology, psychology, and communication to support casework and group work. Reflective journals start from the first placement so you build habits for evidence-based practice.
Intermediate years add community organization, social policy, program administration, and research methods. You conduct needs assessments, plan small interventions, and submit fieldwork files signed by supervisors. A methods sequence covers casework, group facilitation, and community mobilization.
The senior phase integrates research proposals, data collection, and report writing. You engage with organizations—schools, health posts, child protection units, municipalities, or NGOs—depending on approved placements. A final presentation and viva connect field outcomes to theory and policy.
