The BSW programme was introduced by MG University in the year 2002 as the first degree programme in social work in the state of Kerala catering to the demands for professionally trained social work graduates to work in various welfare and development agencies and projects in the state. The syllabus and curriculum was modified in 2009 to restructure the programme as per the guidelines of choice based course credit and semester system and grading.
The present revision emphasise the importance of core competence in social work practice with added importance to field based learning and reflection which is a unique feature of social work education. The programme objectives and learning outcomes are visualized for providing a holistic perspective in social work for the learners. The application of class room learning to the faculty led practical experience is an integral part of social work education. The field based experience can develop the ability of the learners to integrate knowledge, values and skills required for a professional practice in social work. The sensitizing the students to social realities, research based practices and continuous connect of the learners to the social world are some of the salient features of social work education. All the basic tenets of social work as well as emerging challenges in professional social work practices are incorporated in the revised curriculum in a systematic manner which shall train the learner for a generalist practice in social work.
