The Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) combines core knowledge and skills in social work, social policy and research. Students learn about social work and the law, human development, professional ethics, current welfare and social issues in Australian society, and a range of related social science disciplines. Students benefit from innovative learning methods and engage in simulated activities that demonstrate the challenging scenarios they are likely to encounter in practice. They will undertake 1,000 hours of supervised clinical placement in a range of clinical settings that include hospitals and a range of public and private agencies. They may also complete a rural or interstate placement in their final year. For more information, visit Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) at UQ.
Students can take the program part-time, but the semesters that have placement require full-time enrolment. Students commencing the program in semester 2 will take longer to complete the degree.
Students must obtain a Blue Card before commencing a placement course, and hold it for the duration of the program. For more information, visit Placements.
