About Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) + Bachelor of Social Science - Psychology (BH106SOSDD) (079592G)

The Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) / Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) combines two highly respected degrees to give students a unique, broad grounding across both areas.

The degree will increase students' knowledge and understanding of human development, and how such factors interact within individual, group, organisational, community and policy contexts. They will be prepared to think critically about the social world and to influence change through their practice, advocacy, or research. Social workers and psychologists often work side-by-side in organisations where a balancing act of expertise in both areas is required.

Graduates will be prepared for employment in general social work practice and settings requiring an understanding of psychology. They will be equipped to apply interdisciplinary knowledge to address complex social problems.

The Social Work component of this double degree is designed to provide students with professional education for social work practice in the contemporary Australian welfare and human service system. Upon successful completion they will be able to:
  • participate robustly in contemporary and changing ideological and political debates impacting on society, in an informed, flexible and grounded manner to evaluate policy and/or engage in policy debates.
  • apply a body of interdisciplinary knowledge, values and skills in working with and for society’s most vulnerable and marginalised individuals, families, groups and communities.
  • critically analyse, synthesise and reflect on issues of social disadvantage, marginalisation and oppression in both local and international contexts, and proactively work to promote social justice and human rights.
  • demonstrate creativity, critical thinking and practical reasoning when identifying and solving problems in diverse contexts.
  • communicate using diverse formats and strategies to stakeholders within and external to their discipline.
  • work with others in a range of roles and contexts, demonstrating cultural, environmental and social awareness while promoting respectful, ethical and reflective practice.
  • apply initiative and ethical judgment in planning, problem solving and decision making in their current and continuing professional practice.
  • use appropriate research methods to independently design and execute a capstone project.
