The Bachelor of Social Work at UKZN (Howard College) is a four-year degree accredited by the South African Council for Social Service Professions (SACSSP) that prepares graduates to support individuals, families, and communities facing social challenges including poverty, abuse, substance dependency, and family breakdown. South Africa's complex social landscape — marked by high inequality, unemployment, and gender-based violence — creates constant demand for skilled social workers in government welfare departments, NGOs, schools, hospitals, and correctional services. The programme includes extensive supervised fieldwork placements in KwaZulu-Natal communities.
