The Diploma in Social Work and Community Development at EAST University is a comprehensive and practical programme that prepares students to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities to address social challenges and promote sustainable development. Students develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to support vulnerable populations, facilitate community participation, and contribute meaningfully to social change through evidence-based practice and ethical engagement.

The curriculum integrates theory with hands-on field experiences and community projects, empowering graduates to engage effectively within both institutional and grassroots settings. Upon completion, learners are ready for meaningful entry-level roles in social service agencies, non-governmental organisations, public sector programmes, and community development initiatives.
