Message from the HOD

The Department of Social Work and Criminology provides the intellectual space and a facilitating learning environment for a Bachelor degree and postgraduate studies in Social Work, and undergraduate and specialised postgraduate studies in Criminology. Research themes in the Department reflect relevance in a contemporary society which is cognisant of the inter-relatedness of the socio-economic and political context and how it impacts on society and in particular vulnerable groups. The Department is committed to promote social justice and social change and both students and staff engage in community outreach and service learning programmes. The number and scope of postgraduate students reflect the Department’s research intensive focus.
