Social work distance learning

Social work invites you to understand what it means to help people, to discover what is valuable in them and those around them, beyond prejudice, and to find alternative ways to solve the issues they face. Along with academic training, social work provides resources for personal development and practical experience by helping you get involved in the activity of public and private institutions with a social profile.
