WHY
Master of Social Work program, I will gain a strong base in generalist clinical social work
practice as well as specialized study. The course aims to provide skills in areas of policy,
research, clinical and community based practice. This course prepares beginning social work
practitioners for employment in local, State and international human services agencies. The
course is accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and is regarded
as a qualifying master's course. Social work is a profession devoted to helping people
function the best they can in their environment. This can mean providing direct services to
people in their homes or places of work, helping people through social service organizations,
and working for policy change to improve social conditions. Social workers help clients deal
not only with how they feel about a situation but also with what they can do about it. For
example, a social worker helping a parent who is overwhelmed by the stress of single
parent. Social work involves working with people at the individual, family, group, community,
and societal levels.

20 Do you have same course in India also? If yes, then why not studying
there?
The first and foremost reason of studying abroad is the ever increasing
competition in the education sector in India. Students who are scoring as high
as 90% are not getting seats in their college of choice in India. There is an
unnecessary pressure and burden of clearing entrance exams to get
admission in engineering or medical colleges, even after getting a very good
percentage in their 10+2 exams. Some study so hard, yet are still unable to
clear the entrance exams. Because of this extreme competition and in spite of
a much higher cost of education abroad, students prefer studying in foreign
universities. getting admission in private colleges have to pay a hefty amount
of fees. The quality of education is another big concern in these colleges. So
what is the use of spending so much money when you have to compromise on
quality? Hence quality of education is another reason for this trend of students
moving abroad for studies.
Reservation policies are further deteriorating the education system in India.
Students are ready to compete, but when a seat is given to a student just on
the basis of reservation then it hurts. Reservation system is further increasing
the competition in the general category.
A double degree benefit provided by foreign universities attracts students
from India. Indian education is very strict in terms of courses offered and the
way these are taught. But most foreign universities are very flexible and you
can choose from a range of subjects. A student can choose to do dual major,
minor and free elective courses.
Apart from this, better job prospects are another major reason behind this
trend of studying abroad. Most global companies prefer candidates who can
work well in their own country as well as abroad. And thus getting education
from a foreign university is an added advantage. Studying abroad improves
one’s personality, communication skills, social contacts, and at the same time
one can experience a different quality of life.
Also if we were to compare the curriculum of Indian and foreign universities,
the latter is better than the former. Unconventional methods of teaching in
foreign universities help in personality development and hence attract
students. Foreign universities do lots of experiments with the mode and style
or teaching which is not done in India. Infrastructure facilities are much better
in foreign universities as compared to those in India.
Opportunity of working while studying and scholarships brings down the
overall burden of fee in foreign universities. But the same is provided only
during internship in India.
There is another segment of Indian students who get a student visa only to
get immigration to a foreign country. Such students enroll for programs or
courses that have high possibility of providing immigration and that too within
a short span of time.
Because of the fundamental differences in education, competition, quality of
life, job after completing studies, overall personality development etc, most
students and their parents prefer foreign universities for further studies.
