Overview

The Department of Social Work and Sociology, a cornerstone of the University of Zambia and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, is one of the university's oldest departments.

Initially established as the Department of Social Development Studies, it offered three fields of study: Demography, Social Work, and Sociology. Following the transformation of Demography into its own department, it was renamed the Department of Social Work and Sociology.
