Overview

Complete the Bachelor of Social Work and become a professionally qualified social worker, eligible for membership with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). Students will be supported by an experienced teaching team and be guided by practising social workers as they complete extensive field placements.

Over four years, students will develop an understanding of the practice methods, skills, knowledge and values of the social work profession. With an emphasis on problem-based learning, students will gain valuable experience in critical and reflective thinking and practice.
