Hello!

As per my knowledge you can pursue Ph.D in sociology if you have done your post graduation in sociology and social work both. As Ph.D is research and social work and sociology has many topics and issue of concern which are similar. Also it'd certainly be a good choice, if not then Ph.D in social work is a great field of study as well. I hope this helps you.

Hi!

For MA in social work or MSW you must have a bachelor's degree in any stream. There are several universities and colleges that offer this course but in order to take admission you need to pass the entrance test (most of the colleges take test). The syllabus is not much difficult, it includes

• General knowledge

These are basic topics which are generally asked. Social work mainly contains parts of sociology till bachelor's degree level which is not a problem. Some universities that offer MSW are:

1. Tata Institute Of social sciences, Mumbai
2. Delhi school of social work, Delhi University
3. Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh
4. Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi

There are more colleges which offer the course and are on the top list. I hope this is helpful.

To pursue master's, bachelor's degree is must. For MSW one must have a bachelor's degree in any stream. There are entrance tests conducted by the universities for admission in this course. To prepare for that you must know the topics from which questions are generally asked, these are

• General knowledge
• Reasoning Ability

• Numeric Ability ( in some entrance exams; basically mathematics till 10th standard)

The whole syllabus includes parts of general knowledge for which there are many books to refer to as well as newspaper reading is very beneficial, then parts of social work which majorly contains sociology, reasoning and numeric abilities can be slight difficult but if practiced everyday for 2 hours they can be the scoring factors, and then is the verbal ability which is not a hard nut to crack. The preparation time depends on aspirants' abilities to grasp but 6 months are enough to get through the exams.

All the best!
