Program Overview

The Bachelor of Social Work develops your skills and knowledge to bring about positive change and socially just outcomes in the wellbeing of individuals, organisations and communities. Equipping you with the skills to advocate for and improve the lives of individuals, families and communities. Built in collaboration with industry, UWA's Bachelor of Social Work will equip you with the skills for a successful career.


Major: Social Work

The Social Work major forms the basis for the Bachelor of Social Work degree and aims to capture knowledge and skills from a variety of disciplines, including psychology, social sciences, public health and of course the contemporary social work field.  

It offers both core social work units and a variety of suggested broadening units to allowing you to immerse yourself in thinking, critiquing and creating social work knowledge, applying to practice based scenarios and field placements. Social workers are concerned with psychosocial problems; their causes, their solutions and their human impacts.

Social workers work with individuals, families, groups, organisations and communities, and are committed to social justice and human rights. 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.
