Studying social work is a courageous and life-changing choice
The subjects I like the most are those that immerse you in many different realities and introduce you to diverse groups.
Throughout the degree you acquire a broader perspective that allows you to discover which groups you would like to work with.
I recommend this degree to people who are committed to their environment, altruistic and modest.
In this degree, vocation is crucial. Those who study it should be empathetic people, with an eagerness for social change and helping others.
My experience on the degree has taught me to look beyond my worries and understand what really matters in life.
