Student Voices

Social workers are change makers in the society. I have learnt how to empower individuals, families and communities to identify and develop strengths and resources to address personal problems and foster changes in the society during my 4-year time in HKU BSW.

Student Voices

HKU BSW was very structured as it enabled me to comprehend essential theory, policy and research knowledge. Practice laboratory and placement successfully blended a wealth of academic learning and practical components with guidance. Students were always well supported when facing challenges in the workplace. HKU BSW is not only a place for knowledge acquisition and career development, but also for personal growth and reflection.
