Hong Kong 　

Notes:

The list of recognized qualifications is compiled by the Social Workers Registration Board based on the best information available at the time of compilation.
The list is compiled for general information and reference only without prejudice to the exercise by the Registration Board of any of its powers and functions in assessing individual social work qualification for registration. The Board reserves the right to revise the list of recognized qualifications (including making new additions and deletions) as appropriate.
The Board may recognize a social work qualification for registration with condition(s). The tertiary institution that cannot meet the condition(s) set by the Board within the required timeframe may face the Board's withdrawal of its recognition of the pertinent qualification for registration.
As tertiary institutions may from time to time change the plans of their social work programmes and the Registration Board may from time to time review its list of social work qualifications recognized for registration, those who intend to pursue social work studies in Hong Kong should assume personal responsibilities to verify with the Registration Board and the tertiary institution concerned whether the social work qualification to be pursued would be recognized at the year of graduation.
