Hello again juankga-ga,
Thank you for the clarification about what information you’ve found on
your own. I located some of the same resources you did, but I also
found additional ones that are more focused on your quest for
international field placements/studies in the field of social work.
I’ve grouped the resources into categories that should help you stay
organized in your search. The best resources I’ve found are listed at
the top.
The International Social Work Field Instruction directory seems the
best place to start. You will have to follow the links to explore each
of the schools listed. Some of the links lead to missing pages but I
found that searching the school’s site you can usually find the
updated pages for the international social work programs.
I’ve also included a sampling of schools that offer a major in
international social work as well as ones that have international
field studies programs. The directories of study abroad programs may
be your best bet for finding a program that will suit your needs.
I hope that the assortment of resources I’ve found will help you with
your search. Wishing you success in your studies.

International Field Placements
Field instruction courses for the International Social Work
concentration entail placement in an international field setting,
which may include settings both within and outside Canada (i.e., their
focus is on international and global issues). Arrangement,
coordination, and monitoring of international field placement settings
are the responsibility of the Director of International Programs, in
consultation with the Director of Field Education.

International & Out of Province Practica
Students who are interested in undertaking an International Practicum
should meet with the International Field Placement Co-ordinator before
the completion of their second year, and not later than early April.
As significant time is required for the planning, development and
finalization of an international placement, this process needs to be
undertaken as early as possible.

University of East London
MA International Social Work and Community Development Studies/Refugee
Studies
The recently developed international social work programme at
postgraduate level at UEL has built on the considerable experience
gained in European and international networks; in operating the
undergraduate 'top-up degree'; and in collaborative work with
established masters courses in allied subjects. Development work has
benefited from European Union funding to maintain a SOCRATES network
focused on curriculum development and UEL has links with
Fachhochschule Koblenz, Germany, Bundesakademie Vienna, Austria, and
TEI Athens, Greece, as well as Fachochschule Bern, Switzerland.
However, the programme is also rooted in the multicultural mileau of
East London and recognises the interconnections between European
countries and other parts of the world. A major theme of both courses
therefore is the extent to which globalisation affects national
welfare arrangements and consequently the roles and tasks of social
professionals.
The international social work programme is aimed at people who have
completed courses, normally at undergraduate level, equipping them to
work as social or community workers, in their own countries. Study can
be undertaken on a part-time or full time basis, and includes a two
semester teaching period followed by a 3 month period of independent
project work leading to a dissertation, if taken full time. The taught
part of the course extends over 4 semesters for part-timers with
additional block or part-time project work at the end. (Additional
information about application and selection procedure is appended).

International Social Work
The functions of international social work k are nearly as diverse as
the people served. On one level, the work involves direct services in
refugee programs, relief efforts. inter country adoptions and
development, health care, and education. But another aspect involves
advancing the efforts of national governments, intergovernmental
organizations, and voluntary agencies to enhance social welfare
policy, technical assistance, research, and information exchange.
Social workers manage programs, train others, help develop service
delivery systems train in developing countries, and much more.
