    PhD Programmes in 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 children’s rights during divorce and custody cases.

    Dominica has a competitive education system, rivaling others throughout the West. Students in this Caribbean island country could mingle with other serious students from around the world. English is the official language, but students speaking other languages may feel equally at home due to the country’s international commerce.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
