The program places a strong emphasis on research, enabling students to develop critical thinking skills, analytical abilities, and research competencies. Through coursework and hands-on research projects, students learn to conduct empirical studies, analyze data, and contribute to the evidence base of social work practice.

The Honours Research track provides students with the opportunity to undertake advanced coursework and independent research under the guidance of faculty mentors. This allows students to pursue their academic interests in depth and produce a high-quality research thesis on a topic of their choice.

Students have the opportunity to gain practical experience through field placements in social welfare agencies, non-profit organizations, government agencies, and community-based organizations. These placements provide students with hands-on experience working with diverse populations and addressing real-world social issues.

The program adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon insights from sociology, psychology, economics, political science, technology and other relevant disciplines. This interdisciplinary perspective equips students with a comprehensive understanding of the complex social dynamics and systemic factors that shape individuals’ lives and communities.

Ethical considerations are integral to the curriculum, with an emphasis on promoting social justice, human rights, and cultural competence. Students learn to navigate ethical dilemmas, uphold professional standards, and advocate for the rights and dignity of marginalized and vulnerable populations. 

Graduates of the program are well-equipped to pursue diverse career opportunities in social work practice, research, policy analysis, advocacy, community development, and social welfare administration. They may find employment in a wide range of settings including social service agencies, NGOs, government departments, healthcare facilities, schools, and international organizations.

Students receive exposure from full-time, qualified, and experienced faculty members, including international instructors, which prepares them to secure placements nationally and abroad. The global relationships and first-rate facilities and infrastructure further enhance this. There is a strong emphasis on engaging students in research projects to get students ready to submit their own excellent research papers to peer-reviewed international journals. Students gain exposure to international events such as C20 as well as workshops and seminars led by nationally and internationally renowned professionals serving as visiting faculty.
