The post graduate program in social work at Amrita University is unique in many ways. The first and primary one being the fact that Mata Amritanandamayi is the beacon of all the efforts of Amrita University's program. The core agenda of the program is to infuse social commitment in the students by providing practical situations to encounter during their course. The course of two years(4 Semesters) will enable the students to imbibe the fundamental principles of social work and practice them in real life situations. The program incorporates a methodology by which the candidates evolve themselves to a new individually committed level and transform the society they live in.
MSW - Call it Changing Perceptions

A second year (fourth semester) training Project is compulsory for meeting the requirements for completion of the MSW program. Students are required to undertake a ten-week training project with a social service organization. This placement enables students to be exposed to organizations and to work on field-based projects. At the end of the project the student writes a major report and makes a presentation of the work done under the guidance of a faculty member. Academically, we offer a curriculum at par with the national and international level schools of social work. The curriculum guidelines developed by the American accrediting organization, Council on Social Work Education is incorporated in this program.
