Social Work

Social Work courses are available at a Bachelor or Masters level. The Bachelor of Social Work is a 4-year program. The Master of Social Work is an academically advanced 2-year post-qualifying degree that builds on the prior knowledge and experiences that students bring to their studies.

The bachelor program allows entry for those who have completed a minimum of secondary school in their home country. 

The Masters of Social Work is specifically designed for graduates holding degrees with some social and behavioral science components. Students in both programs will be prepared to make a meaningful contribution to people and communities as a dynamic professional social worker.

These field education placements are conducted in a variety of communities and workplaces in metropolitan and regional settings, giving you the chance to work through a wide range of scenarios. You'll graduate ready to handle real-world situations with confidence.

The Bachelor or Master of Social Work has been developed to provide practical skills in areas such as:

• Advanced social research
• Engaging effectively with Aboriginal people
• Ethical social work practice in complex contexts
• Mental health and social work
• Children, youth and families: challenges, critique and change
