MSW

The Master of Social Work (MSW) refers to a two year post graduation degree that prepares a professional to have a career in the field of social welfare. The curriculum is a mixture of the classroom theory of the social work principles, human rights, and social justice and obligatory practical course and internships. The applicants are typically expected to hold Bachelor degree in any course with a minimum percentage of 50. The selection procedure is normally according to the student entrance exam such as CUET PG, TISSNET, or college-specific entrance exam, and a group discussion and personal interview might also be conducted. Some of the sectors or areas that graduates can work in include healthcare, child welfare, community development and the human resource departments of non-governmental organizations, government and corporation.

You can investigate fully funded opportunities overseas. Some examples are the Elizabeth Neuffer Fellowship in the US, the KAUST VSRP Internship in Saudi Arabia, or the Erasmus University programme in the Netherlands; these will usually be fully funded and potentially cover tuition, living expenses, and travel. Of course, there are great opportunities locally or in writing an international grant which would not require fellowship attention. There are plenty of social impact programs like the Yale World Fellows, or Salzburg Global Seminar in Austria. There are opportunites in Canada, Sweden, and South Africa which focus on social work and development. Consider unique fellowship opportunities - look for opportunities that have leadership, community engagement, development experience woven through their opportunities, and think how your MSW and PGP DM background can dovetail in the experience.
