Social Work

Social work is the study and practice of how to solve many social problems such as family and child problems, elderly problems, and juvenile delinquency caused by industrialization and modernization. The Department of Social Work seeks to improve the quality of life for all people by addressing the growing problems of individuals, families, and communities in modern society and by fulfilling human needs. With a well-developed social welfare system, you can expect to receive a high-quality education through both academic and practical training in Canada.
