Hi,
BSW is the standard academic program through which individuals become social workers. It represents the core social work academic program consisting of knowledge, skills, practice of social work in multiple settings and six practical methods of social work intervention. The BSW (I.e., Bachelor of social workers) program of KMCSM contains 32 subjects ranging from sociology for social work to human behavior and growth, psychiatric social work, community organization, social action, child right, rural and urban community development, family and social work, development communication, law and social work, management of voluntary organization, social development, gender studies, juvenile justice, social work in industry and case work and group work. The curriculum is designed to equip students with theories and hands on practices and evolves itself to the social and economical customs of the need of the era, running parallel to the classes are three social camps, research work, 350 hours agencies placement (field placement) and a month long block placement.
All the best.

Sociology covers human behavior, cultures, trends and phenomenon. The scope ends at individual human behavior, psyche and personalities. That's where psychology takes over.
I once had a sociology professor tell me I couldn't put in my research that a participant was upset at my research question, because I wasn't qualified to know if they were angry. As a double major in psychology it was clear the participant was angry. In psychology I could make this distinction, but sociology avoids explaining how the human brain works in social explanations.
Sociologist (also psychologist) George Herbert Mede made an analogy once about studying the trees or the forest to compare sociology and individual human behavior. Although sociology does explain human behavior and the environments influence, psychology tends to focus more on how the brain is affected by these interactions.
In the end, my personal opinion is that sociology has a very large scope and psychology tends to narrow it down a bit.
