Bachelor of Social Work

Social workers are a lifeline for people experiencing points of crisis or significant change. They can work individually or as part of a larger team in a wide range of clinical, community or organisational settings. Social workers support individuals, families, and communities to address life challenges and enhance wellbeing.

Social work careers blend intellectual challenge with emotional fulfilment. The work is dynamic and varied, offering opportunities to engage with diverse populations and complex social issues. You’ll love effecting positive change and contributing to a more just and equitable society.
This degree dives deep into the political, behavioural and social sciences, equipping you with the skills needed for social and human services work. It focuses on four major areas: social work theory; social work practice and skills; social policy; and social research.

You’ll gain practical experience through a field education placement. Through this, you’ll build industry networks and further enhance vital hands-on, practical skills necessary to succeed in your future social work career.
