Conclusion:

Bachelor of Social Work in Nepal is one of the very under-rated courses. Generally, it is perceived that students who are weak and poor in math and science opt for BSW but this is a very wrong concept. People aspiring to study BSW are passionate and very critical. They are the one who can research the most complex societal dynamic and come up with relevant observations and suggestions that helps to introduce changes in society.  Though most places do not require a BSW degree to operate as a social worker. Having a BSW degree will give you professional knowledge in comparison to the one that hasn’t. BSW will offer you an understanding of what you will be doing and the fundamentals of what will be expected of you in the social sector. When you apply for a Social Worker position, you can also ask for a higher starting income because you have prior training and coursework.
