No, if the candidate has done a Bachelor of Social Work, its not difficult. However, a candidate applying for Master of Social Work needs to understand the theoretical and practical part of the course. The course involves plenty of fieldwork as well so candidates have to be dedicated in order to gain experience in the field. The difficulty of an MSW programme is determined by a variety of factors, including your prior academic background, your personal strengths and weaknesses, and the exact programme you pick.
