Master of Arts in Social Work and Social Administration
About This Programme
This programme prepares professionals to lead social welfare programmes and services. At The Unity University, students study advanced social work theory, programme management, and social policy, building the leadership skills needed to run large welfare initiatives.
Students examine case studies in social service design and delivery, learning to manage teams, budgets, and partnerships behind large welfare programmes. Advanced study of social policy prepares graduates to advocate for improvements at a systemic level, not just at the level of individual cases. Graduates are ready to design and manage large social welfare initiatives.
