Overview

Master of Social Work

The course is led by highly qualified, experienced, research-active and accessible experts in the field, with strong ties to the profession and community services and you will benefit from our research-led teaching, based on up-to-date data allowing you to apply the most relevant theory to your social work practice.

The Master of Social Work is the most established Masters's course in WA, with Social Work being first taught at UWA in 1965 and is accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).

In their practice, social workers deal with diverse issues such as the personal experience of people in difficulty, working with them towards effecting appropriate change. 

They are also concerned with broader organisational and social aspects of disadvantage, which impinge on the experience of individuals, and they seek to bring about change at community and policy levels in accordance with the values of the social work profession. 

It is a challenging, but potentially very rewarding profession, which attracts people with a high level of social commitment who are looking for a job in which they can put that commitment into practice in a positive and significant way.

Note: The dissertation stream will not be available for students commencing in 2020.
