Celebrating 20 years of Social Work Education at University of Galway & Book Launch, was held Monday 14t October 2024
MA in Social Work enrolled its first intake of students in September 2004. This was the first time social work education had been available in the west of Ireland. Before then, students wanting to study social work had to go to Dublin, Cork, Belfast or the UK.
The book launch was attended by many social work practitioners that were past graduates of the programme and esteemed speaker, Professor Rudi Roose from Ghent University (one of our ENLIGHT partner universities) spoke at the event.
This event also involved ENLIGHT and O’Mahony’s Bookshop.
