UL has launched a new programme, the Master of Arts in Social Work to help address a ‘significant shortage’ of social workers in Ireland, while also preparing graduates to support some of society’s most vulnerable people.

"This new programme reflects the vital role of lifelong learning in enabling people to develop new skills, pursue meaningful careers, and most of all, contribute to the public good," Professor Kilcommins said.

"Social workers make an extraordinary difference in the lives of individuals, families and communities, often supporting people at their most vulnerable. By expanding opportunities for graduates and career changers to enter the profession, we are helping to address an important national need while reaffirming our commitment to social justice, inclusion and human dignity.

The programme will prepare students to respond to some of the most significant social challenges facing Ireland, including the housing crisis, interpersonal and relationship-based violence, pressures on mental health services, and the experiences of marginalised groups.

Dr Gushwa’s own decision to pursue social work followed her experience working for a public child welfare agency in the United States, where she saw first-hand the impact social workers could have.

“Seeing social workers in action made me want to become a social worker. It’s been the best decision of my life.”

Dr Gushwa encouraged prospective students interested in making a tangible difference in people’s lives to consider a career in the profession.
“If you are looking for a career that challenges you to be the best version of yourself and gives you the opportunity to empower people facing significant life challenges, social work is the right career for you,” she said.

Applications are now open for the two-year Master of Arts in Social Work, with the first cohort of students due to commence their studies in January 2027.
