Overview

Key facts

We offer a master degree in Social Work at the Memorial University of Newfoundland. The School promotes social justice by providing social work education, conducting scholarly inquiry, disseminating knowledge, and contributing to public policy and practice.

These activities help address the needs and aspirations of the local and global communities with whom we collaborate and interact. The School of Social Work plays an important role in preparing graduates for service delivery within Newfoundland and Labrador, across Canada, and internationally.

Our Research

Memorial University's Strategic Research Intensity Plan 2014-2020 builds on the university's Research Strategy Framework to support the university's vision to " ... be one of the most distinguished public universities in Canada and beyond ..." .

The School of Social Work is an active and vibrant research environment. Faculty are engaged in a diverse range of scholarly activities, much of it funded through tri-council agencies, contracts with federal agencies, provincial and local foundations and agencies, and through internal competitions at Memorial University.

Programme Structure

Field education is an integral part of the MSW curriculum and constitutes advanced preparation for a wide range of innovative professional social work activities ranging from social action/ justice to community development/capacity-building to policy writing/analysis to program development/ evaluation to supervision to direct/clinical practice - all working with individuals, families, groups, communities, organizations, and/or systems.

MSW course work and field instruction constitute different approaches to the same educational goal of preparing students for advanced, specialized, and /or leadership social work roles. Field practica are educationally-focussed (rather than a training experience) and, as such, there is a clear differentiation between work and student learning opportunities.
