Overview

Master of Social Work

They mobilise the forces of individuals, the community, and state organisations to transform lives and create lasting and meaningful social change.

RMIT University has been teaching social work for over 40 years, and programs continue to reflect up-to-date ideas about social work and its place in a changing world.

In the Master of Social Work, you will experience a variety of teaching approaches, including seminars, lectures and interactive tutorials facilitated by practitioners and researchers active across different fields of social work practice.

Methods include collaborative group work, self-directed and peer learning, scenario and case-based learning and practice skills simulations.  

Some classes are also run intensively throughout the semester. 

A full-time student will attend approximately eight hours of classes per week each semester, with additional self-directed research and reading to prepare for classes and complete assessment requirements. 

You will be assessed throughout each semester through written reflections, research projects, essays, and simulated interviews, all of which give you the opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities and develop your practice frameworks.
