Social Workers are trained to understand people. Their role is to work with individuals, couples, families, communities and organisations for their collective well-being.
Social Workers help people through challenging circumstances such as homelessness, addiction, abuse, mental illness, poverty, aging and discrimination. Social Workers seek practical solutions to reduce stress and improve quality of life. This is intense work, but with that comes immense professional fulfilment.
Our Social Work degree has a strong emphasis on practical skills. You will dive into professional practice courses right from the first year. You will gain expertise in a variety of practice areas, as well as in research and policy studies.
You will participate in our field education program which includes opportunities for students to undertake their placement in Australia and in partnering countries. Placements are an integral part of the degree, as they allow you to apply classroom learning in real-life situations.
