\n\tThe NUS Master of Social Work (MSW) programme produces leaders of the social work profession in direct practice, policy and legislation, and research and evaluation.<\/p>\n
\n\tApply evidence-based practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t “The programme has been immensely valuable in my role as a Senior Prison Officer. Its comprehensive curriculum in social work principles and practices has strengthened my ability to develop effective rehabilitation and reintegration policies that help ex-offenders rebuild their lives, reconnect with their families, and break cycles of intergenerational offending. The programme also cultivates leadership and management capabilities by fostering critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and a systems-level perspective, skills essential for driving meaningful and sustainable change in the correctional landscape.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t “The NUS Master of Social Work programme shaped me as a social work professional in ways I didn’t expect. The core and elective courses expanded my perspective on how other disciplines intersect with social work, and the compulsory Capstone Project pushed me to gain the confidence to create a group coaching programme and share my findings with senior leaders in my organisation. Most of all, I’m grateful for the mentors and friends whose guidance continues to inspire how I practice social work every day.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t “Being challenged with the necessary rigour to broaden my understanding of the field; having my capacity expanded as the learning process deepened my knowledge in domains that complement my work as a social worker. Sprinkled with some fun, laughters and inspiration from my peers and lecturers. This sums my amazing MSW experience with NUS!”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n\t “The capstone courses allowed me to experience first-hand using practice research methodologies to guide my practice, which contributed to better patient care at the hospital where I work as a Medical Social Worker.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t “This lifelong learning journey never ends as even after the research is completed, I continue to have reflections on the concepts and theories which are relevant to and for my work as a counsellor and social worker.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t “For me, learning and establishing evidence-based practice is aligned to the essence of social work services delivery – ensuring that our practice is truly benefiting our clients and not causing harm. I appreciated learning the various research techniques and the strong emphasis for us to keep to the fidelity of the proposed methodology as well as the ethical process.”<\/p>\n\tMR MOHAMAD FIROZ BIN ABDUL KADIR<\/strong>![\"2018](\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/swk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2024\/06\/2018-NUHS-Saw-Swee-Hock-Sch-2-scaled.jpg\" "\\"2018")
