The Faculty of Social Work was frst established as a department under the direct management of USSH in 2006 and then became an independent faculty since 2008. The establishment is to meet the increasingly urgent demand for well-trained social workers in Vietnam. Currently the Faculty of Social Work offers training to both undergraduate and graduate students.
