BASW at Greenfield National College (GNC), Bafal, Kathmandu follows Tribhuvan University (TU). The program builds social work knowledge and field practice in Nepal’s context. Students learn theory, research basics, and community engagement through guided placements. Your classes run on a semester calendar with continuous evaluation and supervised field tasks.
Affiliation: Tribhuvan University (TU)
Location: Bafal, Kathmandu (accessible for Kathmandu Valley students)
Duration: Four academic years, eight semesters
Learning Mode: Classroom study, skill labs, research assignments, and supervised fieldwork
Assessment: Internal evaluations, semester exams, field reports, and presentations
Early semesters introduce social work foundations, psychology for social work, sociology, Nepali social policy, and basic research methods. Students practice interviewing, observation, and note-taking through small field tasks. Middle semesters cover community organization, group work, case work, social welfare administration, and program planning.
Later semesters move to research proposal, data collection, and a final report linked to Nepal’s community settings.
Short seminars focus on ethics, confidentiality, and documentation. Skill labs simulate intake, home visits, and case recording so you can enter field placements with clarity. Readings include policy notes, articles, and community profiles that match local practice.
Faculty use short lectures, guided discussions, and practice sessions. Field supervisors meet students regularly to review diaries and verify hours. Internal marks arise from class tests, assignments, presentations, and field performance. Semester exams cover core theory, while the final term weighs the research report and oral presentation.
Eligibility: 10+2 or equivalent from a TU-recognized board
Minimums: Session-wise thresholds as per TU rules and campus notice

Students complete supervised placements with NGOs, municipalities, health posts, community schools, or child and youth programs. You maintain a field diary, prepare weekly reflections, and submit a placement report. Supervisors evaluate attendance, interaction quality, documentation, and professional conduct.
Graduates enter roles such as community facilitator, program assistant, caseworker, outreach coordinator, or research assistant in NGOs, INGOs, local governments, and schools. Many continue to MSW or related master’s degrees. The BASW background strengthens writing, field documentation, communication in Nepali and English, and comfort with local institutions and policies.
