若然有志做社工, 不如選擇本地大專所辦的社會工作之高級文憑課程, 循本地認可的途徑升學。
未知樓主是否打算以兼讀形式修讀, 可以選擇以下城大兼讀大專課程 :
Associate of Social Science in Social Work
http://www.cityu.edu.hk/dss/sw
其中可以留意完成後的事業和升學發展:
When students complete the programme, they are qualified to become a Registered Social Worker (RSW) under the Social Workers Registration Ordinance, and hold appointments as a Social Work Assistant. They will be able to work in both government and non-government organizations in the field of family welfare services, community development services, rehabilitation services, children and youth services, services for offenders and drug abusers and services for senior citizens.
Graduates of Associate of Social Science in Social Work can apply for:
-
Bachelor’s degree programmes in Social Work run by City University of Hong Kong and other local universities;
-
Advanced standing for admission to the Bachelor of Social Sciences (Hons) programmes at City University of
Hong Kong;
-
Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Social Work with Minor in counselling run by City University of Hong Kong. Direct entry will be offered to Distinction holders;
-
Admission to third year of the Bachelor of Social Work programme offered by University of Queensland,
Australia;
-
Partial exemptions for studying social work or social sciences degree programs in some U.K., Canadian, U.S.,
and Australian universities.

至於HKMA-DBM, 雖然在資歷架構內係屬第4級, 加上這個課程係與嶺大合辦, 頗受僱主歡迎的兼讀課程之一, 但課程係涉及工商管理, 加上以中文為授課語言, 就算完成了DBM課程後打算申請升讀本地大學讀社會工作學士課程, 恐怕並不容易; 不如循本地大專途徑修讀, 若然您本身係做開社會工作的更可要求僱主出信推薦, 對入職註冊社工較有幫助。
