Course outline

The Bachelor of Social Work is a four-year accredited degree that prepares you for a career built on empowerment, advocacy, and action.

Learn to respond to real-world social issues with creativity, care, and purpose, guided by values of social justice, inclusion, and ethical practice.

In this course you will connect theory with practice through case scenarios, practice simulations, and conversations with practitioners and people with lived experience. You will also have the chance to tailor your studies with electives in community services and arts therapy, exploring creative approaches to social work and broadening your perspective on collaborative, inclusive practice.

Two supervised 500-hour field placements put your learning into action, so you graduate ready to step into professional social work practice.
