Bachelor of Social Work

The Bachelor of Social Work is a 4 year degree focused on training graduates dedicating their services toward people’s capabilities and advocating the development of social policies and research that identify, nurture and support these qualities to help empower them. The course aims to train Social Work graduates who understand and respect human diversity and recognize the creative and supportive potential of heterogeneous communities. Social workers support a variety of communities and or people in need. Clients might include children and families who are experiencing difficult times, migrants and refugees, people with addictions, people with mental or general health issues, people in the legal or justice system, people with disabilities, people in palliative care and many more. In a post COVID world and with a rapidly growing older population, health and other social services are going to be even more important in the future.

Graduate Path

Graduates with a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) typically begin their careers in frontline direct practice as Case Managers, Child and Family Support Workers, or Community Outreach Officers, providing immediate assistance and navigating support systems for vulnerable individuals. With hands on experience, professionals advance into roles such as Hospital Social Workers, Mental Health Specialists, or Team Leaders, taking on complex caseloads, crisis intervention, and team supervision.
