If you feel drawn to community work after +2, BSW at Itahari Namuna College, Itahari, Sunsari, under Tribhuvan University in Nepal, links classroom study with field engagement.
Students often wonder, “Will I get real exposure?” Fieldwork and research are part of the TU BSW structure.
BSW is a four-year academic program under TU’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The course focuses on social work theory, social policy, psychology, research, and practice with required field hours and reporting.
Four years with semester-wise theory and field tasks
Community organization, casework, and group work
Research methods, academic writing, and report submission
Collaboration with local bodies and NGOs for placements
Here’s what you’ll study over four years.
Semesters move from foundations of social work and sociology to community organization, human behavior, social policy, research, and project writing. Field placement runs alongside, and students submit diaries, reports, and presentations as part of evaluation.
Prepare generalist social workers who understand Nepali community contexts
Build skills for outreach, facilitation, and documentation
Promote ethical practice, confidentiality, and respect across diverse groups
Graduates work as program assistants, community mobilizers, research aides, counselors in training (as allowed by policy), or project officers in NGOs/INGOs and local governments. Many pursue MSW or specialized certificates.
Conduct needs assessments and plan small interventions
Keep field diaries, maintain case notes, and present findings
Coordinate with ward offices, schools, and health posts for events
Apply basic research tools: surveys, interviews, focus groups
Communication clinics for field interviews
Proposal and report-writing workshops
Monitoring and evaluation basics (indicators, logframes)
Safeguarding and referral pathways in local settings
Teaching includes lectures, seminars, supervision meetings, and reflection sessions. Supervisors review field logs and guide ethical practice and safety protocols.
Applicants need PCL/+2 or equivalent as per TU rules. Colleges may set screening interviews or internal tests for placement suitability; check the current notice for dates, required documents, and seat availability.
Graduates contribute to education projects, public health outreach, livelihoods, GBV response units, child protection, and disability inclusion projects depending on partner availability.
Merit and need-based categories are announced in admission windows. Fieldwork travel support may be available per policy and budget.
Worried about employability in social work? Field placements generate references, and structured reporting helps build a portfolio that employers in Nepal assess for entry-level roles.
BSW at INC connects theory to community practice under TU’s framework. Review the latest institutional notice for field placement guidelines, safety rules, and assessment timelines.
