What are the admission requirements for this programme?
Applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognized university (generally requiring at least Second Class Honours). If the applicant's Bachelor's degree was not taught in English, an IELTS score of 6.5 or other equivalent public English examination results are required; applicants must also pass an admission interview.
Is a background in social work mandatory to study the Social Service Management programme?
Not necessarily. Although many students are registered social workers hoping to transition into management through further study, these types of programmes usually welcome applicants without a social work background.
- For those without a social work background: The programme provides an entry point into management in the social service sector (NGOs), such as positions in administration, project planning, fundraising, or community liaison.
- For current social workers: The programme focuses on supplementing "management" skills (such as financial management, human resources, and strategic planning), which are areas less covered in traditional social work training.
What study modes are available? What if I cannot complete the Master's degree all at once?
The programme offers flexible learning pathways. Students can choose between Full-time (1 year) or Part-time (2 years) modes. Additionally, the programme features multiple exit points; depending on their personal learning needs or work commitments, students may apply to graduate with a Postgraduate Certificate (upon completing 4 Common Core courses), a Postgraduate Diploma (upon completing 4 Common Core courses + 3 Elective courses), or the Master's Degree (upon completing all designated courses).
