Abstract :With this research, within the scope of the undergraduate completion program in health initiated by High Education Board in 2015, 19 qualitative semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with snowball sampling in order to determine the experiences of undergraduate completion students placed in social work departments of state universities. There is not enough research on the experiences and problems of the students in this context. Therefore, the experiences of students in this context are important for the future of social work education. It was observed that social work students within the scope of the undergraduate completion program chose the department consciously and knew about social work. However, it has been revealed that undergraduate completion students have difficulties in their education life, find the lessons difficult, and encounter prejudiced attitudes and behaviors of their classmates and academic staff. In order for social work education to be inclusive and free from discrimination and prejudice due to the focus of the profession, it is recommended that research and improvement activities be carried out with undergraduate completion students and lecturers.
