The Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Social Work is a professional qualification that is accredited with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). It satisfies all the academic requirements necessary for professional recognition as a social worker. Our program offers the opportunity to combine this professional qualification with majors offered through the Bachelor of Arts degree. Our combined Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Social Work program teaches relevant skills and knowledge to people who are interested in becoming social, youth, health, welfare or community workers, or working in residential care, administration, research, policy development or counselling.
Assumed knowledge depends on subjects selected. Most subject areas in Arts require no previous knowledge.
In this course the major studies include a study of combination of Arts, Social Sciences and Social Work units of study, including a major from Arts and Social Sciences and its prerequisite units, a second major or elective units of study, as well as core units in Sociology, Aboriginal Studies, Psychology and Social Policy. This will comprise units of study in Issue Based Learning, Professional Practice and Integrative Studies plus 60 days of field education in year 4 and 80 days in year 5.
Admission to this course is on the basis of a secondary school leaving qualification such as the NSW Higher School Certificate (including national and international equivalents), tertiary study or an approved preparation program. English language requirements must be met where these are not demonstrated by sufficient qualifications taught in English.
