BSW stands for Bachelor of Social Work and is a go to subject for a lot of students who are willing to pursue abroad education.
Bachelors of Social Work was first started by St. Xavier College as a fraternity course and now has become one of the most popular non technical courses for the students. Students usually enroll in this course mostly because it’s easy and it offers the needed credential and experiences for abroad study.
If you’ve read the previous article “9 tips to get your Australian visa successfully”, you’ll realize how much I have emphasized on getting an evidence.
What actually do I mean by evidence? Is this a murder mystery? No!
By evidences, I mean physical proof that you have done your part as a student.
And there is enough physical proof that this course can give you. You have 300+ hours of internship/ voluntary work in a NGO which is more than enough to let you have an upper hand.
Right now, the course is not recognized by the government. Hence, the chances of working as a government officials is less to none. So, the most number of people who actually study this course are people who aspire to go study/work abroad or work in a NGO/INGO.
This course is not recognized by Nepal government but is universally accepted, especially by the Australian education board. A social worker in Australia earns $2,526 – $3,712 a month which is more than what an engineer earns in Australia.
The course is fairly simple ,easy to pass and the fee structure is lower than most of the other courses in Nepal. By most, I mean all.
Students are equipped with certificates of various sectors like English Proficiency(important for abroad study) , French, Writing, Entrepreneurship, etc. Even though the core certificate is of Tribhuvan university, the students are also certified by Coursera and other US universities which adds to your resume for abroad study.
