Bachelor of Social Work (1372) ()

Throughout this program, students will study specialized social work courses, society and social arrangements, human behaviour and development, human services provision and counselling approaches and techniques to name a few core study areas.

They will complete two 500 hour field placements in your degree. Field placements give students the chance to put their academic knowledge and skills into practice, develop new ones and sample social work practice in the real world. Students will be supervised by a qualified social worker for the duration of their field placements. In some situations, it may be possible to negotiate a workplace-based field placement. Placements will be sourced in the student's area of choice where possible.

Students will become highly proficient in all core areas of social work theory and practice, develop critical thinking and reflective skills and be prepared for practice grounded in the values and ethics of the profession - social justice, diversity, equity and a commitment to the rights and needs of the people with whom they work.
