Message of the Chairman

Welcome to the Department of Social Work at Jamalpur Science & Technology University. The Department of Social Work at Jamalpur Science and Technology University (JSTU) stands as a dynamic and forward-looking academic unit among the university's seven departments. Launched with the Bachelor of Social Science (BSS Honors) program in 2018–2019, the department responded to the growing need for trained social work professionals in the country. In 2022–2023, it expanded its academic horizon by introducing the Master of Social Science (MSS) program, enhancing both educational and professional prospects for its students. Every year, 40 students are admitted through the competitive GST (General, Science, and Technology) admission process. With a curriculum that integrates rigorous theoretical instruction with hands-on field practice, the department equips students with the knowledge, skills, and values essential for real-world social engagement. Home to around 200 students and guided by 7 accomplished and passionate faculty members, the department fosters an environment of academic excellence, critical thinking, and a deep commitment to social justice and development.



The Department of Social Work at JSTU offers a vibrant and resourceful academic environment to support students’ intellectual and professional growth. It is equipped with multimedia classrooms for modern, interactive teaching; a dedicated seminar library stocked with essential books, journals, and reference materials; and a Social Research Lab that facilitates hands-on training in data collection and analysis. Both the BSS and MSS programs are enriched with practical components such as community visits, agency visits, field work mapping, field practice, internships, and practice-based research. Beyond academics, students actively engage in co-curricular activities through the Social Welfare Club, Debate Club, and Sports Club. The department also regularly organizes study tours and batch tours to provide real-world exposure and foster team spirit. Altogether, these facilities ensure a balanced blend of theory, practice, and personal development for aspiring social work professionals.
