Department of Social Work

The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) programme at KMO Arts and Science College, Koduvally, is a Four-year undergraduate course designed to prepare students for professional social work practice through a strong blend of classroom learning and practical exposure. Introduced in 2023 with an intake capacity of 30 students, the programme combines theoretical papers in social work concepts, human behaviour, social policy, community development and professional practice with structured field experiences such as agency visits, community work and internships, enabling students to apply what they learn in real-life settings. The department also supports a student association that organises enhancement programmes, workshops, outreach initiatives and leadership activities, helping students build confidence, social responsibility and professional competence while creating a vibrant, service-oriented learning environment.
