Social Work, Bachelor

QUT's social work program fosters a community of engaged learners and practitioners equipped to drive social change for a more just, democratic, and sustainable society. Graduates gain insight into how personal experiences are influenced by societal structures, enabling them to partner with individuals through various methods while advocating for systemic reforms to address injustices. The curriculum adopts a critical lens on social issues, integrating theory with field education to challenge root causes rather than individual faults. This broad degree offers diverse career paths, allowing students to tailor studies to specific interests and develop specialised expertise.Flexible delivery options include starting in February or July, with part-time study available over up to eight years, including online units and adjustable placements to meet the 20-day face-to-face requirement. Double degrees, such as with Behavioural Science (Psychology), enhance skills for roles in community services and mental health. The program requires 1000 hours of work-integrated learning, with pathways like the TAFE-Qld Brisbane dual award or Master of Social Work for qualified entrants.
