The Department Social Work focuses on academic excellence and skill acquisition of students. Thereby they outperform in all sectors like the corporate sector, government, and non-government. Students engage in pursuit of learning in an atmosphere of critical thinking, spirit of inquiry and scientific temper. Values such as selflessness, devotion and service are blended with leadership skills, social sensitivity and business acumen that transform them into leaders of tomorrow. Inspired by the power of conquering adversities they learn to respond to the ever changing lives and needs of people.
The department initiates programmes that cater to the emerging needs of the various stakeholders in the society. It undertakes research projects, consultancies, intervention programmes and extension activities, organises seminars, workshops, rural exposure camps and field work as part of its curriculum. The value of learning through service is significantly incorporated in the academic programmes. The curriculum offered by the Department provides opportunities for the holistic development of the students and blends learning from the classroom with experiential learning.
A warm welcome to the Department of Social Work at CHRIST (Deemed to be University).
Social Work is more than a profession. It is a calling to serve people with compassion, dignity, and justice. At our department, we strive to nurture individuals who think deeply, act responsibly, and lead with purpose. Over the years, we have grown into a vibrant space where learning meets service, and education goes hand in hand with empathy and ethics.
We prepare our students not just for jobs, but for life—to be kind, skilled, and committed professionals who bring about positive change in society. Our academic journey blends theory with fieldwork, research with reflection, and values with innovation. Students gain real-world experience through structured field placements, community engagements, and research projects, building confidence and competence along the way.
Our passionate faculty, dynamic curriculum, and strong field exposure ensure that every student’s journey is rich with learning, meaning, and purpose. Whether you are a student, parent, or visitor, I invite you to explore our programmes and join us in building a more just, inclusive, and compassionate world.
