Social work continues to be one of the fastest growing contemporary professions today. As society evolves, new issues requiring redressal confront individuals, families and communities, requiring the social work profession to adapt itself to meet these diverse societal needs. The entire focus in this programme is to foster student growth by providing them with quality academic training and thereby prepare them for the challenges and career opportunities of this demanding and dynamic profession.
Established in 1982, the Department of Social Work of Bishop Heber College has a tradition of moulding top notch social work students to meet these challenges. Besides offering a full time two - year Master's level Social Work programme (MSW), we also offer courses leading to the research degrees of M. Phil and Ph.D., affiliated to Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli. The Department has to its credit 35 years of dedicated service and we continue our journey towards reaching the un-reached.
