Social Work addresses the multiple, complex transactions between people and their environments. Its mission is to enable people, groups and communities to develop their full potential, earn social and economic justice, and prevent dysfunction. It is focused on problem solving and progressive social change. As such, professional social workers are change-agents in societies and catalysts in the lives of the individuals, families, groups and communities they serve.
The Unic Social Work Programme is designed in line with doctrinal and operational educational standards, which reflect a modern approach to Social Work - an applied social science with its own principles, values, theory and practice methodology. Originally established in 2005, the Social Work Programme has been growing steadily in terms of students and academic performance.
The Social Work Programme takes account of contemporary social risks and needs that bring into question the adequacy of traditional policies to promote social policy and social protection, cultural diversity and to strengthen the empowerment of individuals, families, groups, organisations and communities.
The ultimate goal of the Social Work Programme is to educate and train Social Work professionals, who demonstrate the values and ethics of the profession and practitioners, who are competent for generalist social work practice at the BSW level.
