Overview
Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at Samata College
Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at Samata College, Kathmandu, is a Tribhuvan University (TU) program for students who want their education to be directly linked with people, communities, and social change. It combines classroom learning with regular fieldwork, making it both academic and practical.
The curriculum covers social work theories, human behaviour, social policy, community organization, and research methods. At Samata, these subjects are taught with a strong focus on the realities of Nepalese communities, especially those facing economic and social difficulties.
Who This Course Is For
BSW is a good choice for you if you:
-
Feel strongly about social justice, inequality, or community development.
-
Want to work with individuals, groups, or communities in a structured way.
-
Prefer a course where fieldwork is part of the learning process.
You can apply if you have completed 10+2 or equivalent from a recognized board and meet Tribhuvan University’s requirements.
Learning Experience and Fieldwork
In the classroom, you learn about social work methods, basic counselling concepts, group work, community mobilization, and social research. Alongside theory, you are placed in organizations, schools, communities, or projects where you observe and assist ongoing activities under supervision.
Fieldwork helps you see how social issues appear in real life and how trained workers respond. You prepare reports, maintain fieldwork records, and reflect on what you are learning. Internal evaluations, fieldwork assessments, and final exams follow Tribhuvan University guidelines.
Future Pathways
After completing BSW, you can look for roles in NGOs, community-based organizations, social service agencies, child and youth programs, health and education projects, and rights-focused groups.
Many graduates also choose to pursue a Master’s degree in social work or related fields such as sociology, development studies, or public health. For students who want their college education to remain close to ground realities, BSW at Samata College offers a structured and affordable route.
