The HKU Master of Social Sciences (Integrated Practices with Young People) aims to enhance the knowledge and skills needed to work with young people. When discussing diverse evidence-based intervention strategies, cutting-edge research and most updated theories, the programme equips students with materials required to meet the current challenges in working with young people. In addition to direct practices, students are equipped with advanced knowledge on service delivery, youth policy and multidisciplinary work. Teachers of the programme include academically experienced professionals who work with young people and social service agency managers.

The programme aims to attract students from various disciplines such as school social workers, educators, and professionals working with young people in schools, social services agencies, churches and clinical settings. We expect our graduates to become competent and advanced practitioners along with future leaders in working with young people.
