Social Work Subject regulations
Social Work is a practice-based profession and academic discipline that promotes social change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people. Social work is underpinned by theories of social work, social sciences, humanities and indigenous knowledge. Social Workers aspire to engage with people, their families, communities and social structures to address life challenges, enhance wellbeing and promote self-determination and autonomy. Principles of human rights, social justice, collective responsibility and respect for diversities are central to Social Work.
Social Work was available as a specified programme for the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW).
To have completed the specified programme in Social Work, students would have needed to complete the programme set out below.
For more information, contact the Programme Convenor for Social Work.
