Overview

Bachelor of Social Work

Want to help people? Feel passionate about social justice and human rights - then social work at Griffith University is right for you.

On your way to a satisfying career, you will study specialised social work courses, society and social arrangements, human behaviour and development, human services provision and counselling approaches and techniques, to name a few core study areas.

You will complete two 500-hour field placements in your degree. 

Field placements allow you to put your academic knowledge and skills into practice, develop new ones and sample social work practice in the real world.

You will be supervised by a qualified social worker for your field placements.

In some situations, it may be possible to negotiate a workplace-based field placement.

You will become highly proficient in all core areas of social work theory and practice, develop critical thinking and reflective skills and be prepared for an approach grounded in the values and ethics of the profession - social justice, diversity, equity and a commitment to the rights and needs of the people with whom you work.

Work-integrated learning

Work-integrated learning activities (professional placements) integrate theoretical learning with its application in the workplace. 

The inclusion of work-integrated learning activities in the degree program demonstrates Griffith's commitment to preparing its graduates for success in their working life.

In this program, you will spend time in the work/professional environment undertaking placements at various locations. 

Placements may be outside the Brisbane metropolitan/Gold Coast area, including northern New South Wales and (by negotiation) interstate or overseas. Total work placements (hours): 1000.
