Diploma in Social Work

The Diploma in Social Work was developed to meet the needs of two main categories of students:   (i) Working adults who are already involved as frontline workers in social welfare and human services but do not possess any recognised social work education or training qualifications, (ii) School leavers who are interested to begin social work studies at diploma level.   The programme and mode of study is approved by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE). It comprises a total of 90 credit hours which includes 8 credit hours of compulsory practicum attachment at social work related agencies. With the diploma qualification, graduates will gain recognition as trained social workers and full membership with the Malaysian Association of Social Workers (MASW).
