There are, in fact, individuals whose interest, orientation and job description are social work related, yet their qualifications are not strong enough to ensure their entry into the Professional Master of Social Work Programme. Experience also shows that such people apply for placement on the programme on yearly basis, but are never offered the opportunity.
