Social Welfare Minor
Department of Law | World University of Bangladesh
The Social Welfare Minor is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the critical role that social programs, policies, and systems play in shaping social services. This minor equips students to engage with pressing issues of welfare, justice, and equity in both local and global contexts.
Students will explore how factors such as race, ethnicity, and diversity influence social welfare at the individual, community, national, and international levels. In addition, they will develop advocacy skills to effectively raise awareness of social policy issues and work towards meaningful change in society.

Why Social Welfare Matters in Legal Education
Law is not just about statutes and courtrooms—it’s about people, protection, and progress. At WUB, we believe legal professionals must be champions of social justice. This minor empowers law students to:
- Provide legal aid to marginalized and underserved communities
- Advocate for policy reforms in housing, healthcare, and education
- Support human rights initiatives through NGOs and civil society
- Bridge the justice gap by promoting legal literacy at the grassroots level
- Contribute to inclusive development through ethical and empathetic legal practice
