PhD Degrees in Social Sciences Social Work

Social work is a career field that focuses on providing help and support to those in need. After completing a program or course, professional social workers may have the education necessary to develop community programs, provide counseling and legal support for families, or advocate for childrenโ€™s rights during divorce and custody cases.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Masterโ€™s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
