Social Care is a generic term used to describe ongoing professional care of vulnerable individuals or groups in residential, day care or community services. This work involves responding to people’s physical, social, and emotional needs. Social Care Workers are versatile, hands-on professionals who work closely with groups, individuals or families in a therapeutic and supportive way to help them improve the quality of their lives and empower them to maximize their potential as human beings. Our Social Studies programmes prepare students for professional social care work.
Special Features of our Programmes:
- Integrated approach emphasising the role of the family.
- Emphasis on developing reflective practice skills.
- Close working relationships between staff and students.
There are two degree courses available in Social Studies at Carlow College.
Important Note for all applicants:
As is standard national procedure, students on our Social Studies courses are required to undergo Garda vetting. If you have a criminal conviction you are advised that this will affect your ability to secure placement. This in turn will prevent you from completing your course of study (See Admissions for further details).
