Faculty of Social Sciences
The Faculty of Social Sciences provides sub-degree programmes in social work, applied psychology and social sciences in general, and a top-up bachelor’s degree programme in social work. All social sciences aim to understand and change human behaviour, although different disciplines adopt different perspectives.
We place dual emphasis on formal curriculum and out-of-classroom activities, e.g., internships and site visits, and adopt a student-oriented and AI-supporting approach for teaching and learning.
Social work education has been a hallmark of the faculty for more than 40 years and our programmes are recognized by the Social Workers Registration Board. Social work graduates may choose to join the profession or elect to move on to further studies. The majority of graduates from other programmes in the faculty usually pursue further studies, with 40% of them having articulated to government-funded universities.
