The Department of social work and health science at NTNU is located at the Dragvoll Campus. Teaching as well as research in health science and social work are the main activities at our department.
Social Work Social work is directed to social problems and less advantaged groups, and has a central place in the implementation of social policy. As an academic dicipline, social work is grounded in this applied aspect.
