What it is	Social Work teaches you how to help people and communities facing challenges like poverty, abuse, mental health issues, and inequality. A direct-entry program means you start in social work courses from year one, rather than taking general studies first. Co-op lets you alternate between classes and paid work at social agencies, hospitals, or nonprofits, so you graduate with real experience alongside your degree. This suits people who want hands-on learning, are drawn to supporting vulnerable people, and prefer to test their career choice in the field while studying.	This program combines a degree in the social sciences with professional training as a social worker. You study human behaviour, social policy, and sociology in the first part, then move into specialized social work practice and ethics. It suits people who want both a broad understanding of society and the credentials to work directly with individuals, families, and communities facing challenges.
