Undergraduate Courses

A study of contemporary social problems with which social work concerns itself. Emphasis is divided between theoretical approaches to understanding the problem and study of societal responses to and intervention in the problem.

Survey of key topics and study of the basic skills, concepts and interests comprising the sociologist’s tools of analysis. The course will include social organization, culture, socialization, primary groups, social stratification, associations.

Basic concepts and techniques of modern psychology as a behavioural science, with special emphasis on social aspects of behaviour. The development of behaviour, learning and remembering, motivation, values and attitudes, personality, sensation and perception, and small group processes will be studied with reference to physiological correlates and environmental factors.

History and development of social welfare as an institution from its origins to the modern welfare state. Emphasis on current issues in social welfare and patterns of service.

Applying sociological analysis to three selected areas: the major institutions of education, religion and law, and developing a pattern and an approach which would be applied to the study of other social areas.

Introducing the student to the main ideas of urban, industrial and political sociology studied within a framework emphasizing social change; illustrations will be drawn from emergent as well as advanced societies.

An examination of the psychological principles involved in the interaction between the individual and society. Emphasis on social attraction, socialization of the child, language and social communication, interpersonal perception, attitude formation, personality and society, status and roles, social control, group dynamics and leadership.

Implications of minority group status for social work practice: the place of ethnic and cultural minorities within contemporary social structures, principles in majority-minority relations, minority relations and social stratification. An analysis of prejudice and discrimination and their functions as weapons in group conflict, the responses of minority group members to prejudice and discrimination. Family patterns of minorities.

The role and purpose of research in social work; elements in the method and design of research, and the research process. Interviewing, participant observation, scaling and experimental design will be included along with research in social work methods: casework, group work, community organization, administration.

Psychology 330R Social Functioning and Human Behaviour

Social Work 335R Foundations of Practice

Social Work 340R Social Work Tutorial

Social Science (Applied) Programme

Selected aspects of social responses to growth, health, disease and disability. The course will also examine abnormal behaviour as a social problem and as a manifestation of culture. There will also be a brief survey of modern diagnostic and treatment procedures.

An examination of the methods of social work practice: casework, group work, community organization and administration.

An independent in-depth study of a selected area of social work theory or practice undertaken by individual or small groups of students with faculty consultation.
