Student Voices
The HKU MSW programme significantly enhanced my reflective skills and understanding of social work, particularly through valuable placements. Guided supervision and self-analysis honed my ability to assess and refine my practice. Real-world challenges fostered my personal and professional growth also expanded the knowledge base and support network for my future career.

Student Voices
Fruitful, inspiring, and meaningful are the three adjectives I used to describe the MSW programme. Not only did the teachers equip me with useful theoretical frameworks and practical techniques in the workplace, they also offered me many opportunities to reflect on my personal values and beliefs. Equally important, with great support and guidance from my supervisors, the placement experiences enriched my practice wisdom. Overall, the comprehensive learning experience and all-round exposure enhanced my overall competence as a social worker.
