This is a fully accredited, entry level qualification that opens the door to being a professional social worker. Over four years (or longer part-time), you'll build knowledge in social theories, human development, research, ethics, and social policy.

You’ll also study Indigenous world views and frameworks focused on anti-oppression, decolonisation, and trauma-informed practice.

A standout feature is the 1,000 hours of supervised field placements (Work Integrated Learning), where you’ll work in real service organisations to connect what you learn in class with real life. The degree also includes electives so you can explore areas you're passionate about, and there’s an option for an embedded Honours stream for students interested in research.

Across the degree, all students (even those studying online) must do at least 20 days / 150 hours of on-campus learning (residential schools or units with in-person components).

When you graduate, you'll be eligible to join the Australian Association of Social Workers and qualified to work in areas like mental health, child welfare, disability, community development, and policy roles.
