Applications called for degree in social work

The National Institute of Social Development (NISD) functioning under the purview of the Ministry of Social Services and Social Welfare and approved by the University Grants Commission has called up applications for its 2009 degree program in social work from suitably qualified students at the G.C.E. Advanced Level Examination held in 2008.

The National Institute of Social Development (NISD) is the only higher education institution awarding degrees and diplomas in professional social work.

Social Services and Social Welfare Minister Douglas Devananda has made a request from all persons with suitable qualifications to pursue these courses conducted at the NISD as there are many job opportunities in the sphere of social work both at private and public sector for professionally qualified social workers.

The degree program in social work for which applications are called will be conducted in English and the applications can be obtained from the Registrar, National Institute of Social Development, No. 498A, Nawala Road, Rajagiriya before April 26.
