What does NUS Social Work offer and what is it like as a student in the programme? Curious pre-university students and undergraduates from other disciplines had these questions answered during a series of events organised by the Department in March to raise awareness on its degree programmes, student life and the social work profession.

The events, which included a community walk and a mini-carnival, were conducted in collaboration with the Department’s alumni who have since gone on to embark on diverse and successful careers in the community and business sectors.

Students had the chance to learn about the challenges and experiences faced by both social workers and the less fortunate through a community walk around the Chin Swee Road and Jalan Kukoh area – one of Singapore’s largest and oldest rental estates. Held on 13 March, it was organised in partnership with community initiative Kampung Kakis and social enterprise Hello Flowers.
