SW80 Master of Social Work

The Master of Social Work provides graduates with an internationally recognised qualification in social work. This innovative course incorporates campus and online learning, intensive block teaching and supervised work-integrated field placements. Students work alongside academics to develop a personal learning plan which fits with other commitments and meets the requirements of the Australian Association of Social Workers.

 

Entry Requirements

Academic Requirements

A completed recognized Bachelor degree in any discipline. This course is not designed for students who already have a Bachelor Degree (or higher award) in Social Work. However, QUT recognises that not all overseas Social Work qualifications will meet the professional requirements for membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and will consider applications from overseas qualified applicants for this course.

 

Applicants who are qualified Social Workers in their country of residence should also contact AASW (http://www.aasw.asn.au/) to determine the study they may need to undertake to be eligible for membership in Australia. This assessment may indicate that it will not be necessary for the students to complete the full two years of study and they may be eligible for some advanced standing towards their study.
