The Diploma in Social Work programme is the first of its kind in the private education institution in Malaysia. It is a competency-based educational programme which has been designed in reference to the National Competency Standards for Social Work Practice (2010) where standard areas have been identified at a specific level for diploma students.

This programme was developed to meet the needs of two main categories of students:

(i) working adults who are already involved as frontline workers in social welfare and human services but do not possess any recognised social work education or training qualifications

(ii) school leavers who are interested to begin social work studies at diploma level
