In addition, the programme focuses on welfare policy and service evaluation, aiming to strengthen students' knowledge in these two areas, and thereby their abilities in administration and management in human services. Graduates will be recongnised as Registered Social Workers (RSW) under the Social Workers Registration Ordinance. They are eligible to apply for positions such as Assistant Social Work Officers (or equivalent ranks) in the Social Welfare Department of the HKSAR Government and social service agencies.
