Student Life
As students at the School of Social Work, we would like to welcome you. Perhaps you're wondering why you should choose the Master's program in Social Work at the University of Ottawa? Well, here is our list of the top ten reasons why we feel our School is a judicious choice . . .- The School has a small number of students (you're known by name, not by number).
- It's an entirely Francophone program that favors the acquisition and development of critical analysis skills (you're encouraged to make your ideas and opinions known).
- If you like to stay up late and maintain an active social life, you will be able to profit from an extra hour's sleep (yes, courses don't start until 9:30 a.m.).
- You will have the opportunity to work without pay (but seriously, the work terms will offer you invaluable experience).
- No studying long hours for exams! Evaluation rests on writing assignments that allow you to bring to the fore the full breadth of knowledge gained throughout your studies.
- The School provides a living area, equipped kitchen, phone, computers and printers. You will feel right at home!
- No need to write or defend a Master's thesis... There is only a requirement to write a major research paper of at least 50 pages long.
- Teaching and administrative staff are attuned to your needs.
- You will have the opportunity to meet dynamic people and form new friendships.
- You will always be very well represented by the Student Association.
The Administrative Council is composed of ten members who sit on various committees of the School and the University, thus allowing students to make their ideas and opinions known.
Students are invited to become involved in various committees and councils such as the Council of the School, Programme Commitee on Graduate Studies, the Committee Against Sexual Harassment of the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Graduate Students' Association (GSAÉD) and the Commission on Graduate Studies in the Humanities of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
The Association therefore has the following goals:
- Defend and represent the rights and interests of students before the different committees of the School, the Faculty and the GSAÉD.
- Organize academic, cultural and social activities.
All in all, the experience offered to you is one that you will not want to miss. Come join us!
