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.
Our graduates from the Higher Diploma in Social Work programme are eligible to become Registered Social Workers. More than half of them choose to practice their profession right after graduation to answer the societal demand for social workers. Graduates of other sub-degree programmes usually pursue further studies, with 34% of them having articulated to government-funded universities.
