Bachelor of Social Work

This program prepares you for real-world contemporary social work practice. You will gain the knowledge and skills needed to be a critically reflective agent of change within complex and diverse settings. The course is designed to enhance your ability to work with individuals, families, groups and communities in the context of their physical, social and cultural environments.

The study of human development, human rights, principles of social justice, theories of social work, and skills for practice is underpinned by a respect for diversity and a commitment to enhancing social equity. In the final two years of your program you will undertake supervised professional practice (work integrated learning) in a range of settings including interpersonal, group, organisational, community and policy contexts.
