Our undergraduate program focuses on theoretical and practical training so that the students not only learn fundamental knowledge about social work but also gain relevant hands-on training that can closely meet the needs of society. All undergraduates must complete at least 400 hours of internship. Our master's program is centered on advanced professional training, aiming to train professionals in the fields of social welfare administration, research, and practice. The Ph.D. program bears the mission of training advanced social work and social welfare scholars, teachers, and researchers.

To expand the international exposure of our students, NTU's Department of Social Work has established cooperation agreements with many acclaimed social work schools abroad. We have also initiated a summer internship program with the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, in which we select top undergraduate and graduate students to work in local U.S. institutions through a rigorous screening system. These students acquire social work knowledge and also learn about local cultures and welfare systems. All our Ph.D. students are also required to conduct short-term research studies in overseas academic institutions so as to foster global perspectives.

In addition to cultivating professional skills, the Department's educational philosophy also strongly encourages the students to explore their interests. We train them in teamwork and problem-solving skills and in developing altruism, empathy, and social sensitivity, which are transferable to any profession they might take on in the future.
