Department of Social Welfare
In the field of social welfare policy and administration, a wide range of curricula are offered, ranging from historical examination of social welfare development to exploration of alternative social security systems that can respond to future social changes. In the field of social work practice, the curriculum covers micro-level social work practice such as art therapy, as well as various practical issues in the field of mid-range social work practice such as children, youth, and women. In addition, the department offers a research methodology curriculum, including quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, to systematically train students in research, analysis, and report writing required in social work practice.
Department of Medical Social Work (including Addiction)
This department is the first medical social work department in Korea and has been leading the field of medical social work for the past 20 years. Professionals in various fields, including social workers, nurses, hospice and palliative care workers, and nursing facility workers, are practicing medical welfare that they have studied and researched in this department. In addition, the department has strengthened its addiction-related curriculum, including addiction and social work practice, addiction and prevention and treatment, and addiction and recovery, in order to foster human resources who can effectively respond to the increasingly diverse and serious addiction problem. This department will further strengthen your capabilities if you are interested in medical welfare and addiction.
Gerontology
The Department of Gerontological Welfare was established to systematically address the problems of poverty, health, and care of the elderly that arise with the rapid growth of the elderly population and to train professionals who are key to creating a welfare society. In this department, you will explore general issues related to the elderly, such as their health, income, and long-term care, and conduct lectures and research to acquire specific skills such as institutional management and practical methods to solve these problems. It will be a good educational environment for applicants who want to work as a care manager or social worker in the care field, such as facilities, day and night care centers, and home care agencies.
Mental Health and Social Work (including Developmental Disabilities)
