    Second/third-year subjects

The following social work subjects have been made available to students undertaking the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Letters degrees. Students who are subsequently admitted into the Bachelor of Social Work degree may be exempted from these subjects. The Bachelor of Social Work prepares students for professional social work practice in Australia and graduates are eligible for membership of the professional body, the Australian Association of Social Workers.

These subjects are required in the BSW and are offered as complementary content for students pursuing related disciplines or areas of study in, for example, psychology, criminology, political science, women's studies, sociology, social theory or geography and environmental studies. They are also useful introductory subjects for those wishing to explore further social work studies, or for those seeking to work in the human services or welfare areas.

1. Time commitment to study

As well as scheduled contact hours for lectures, tutorial and seminars a considerable additional time committment is needed to complete the academic requirements of each subect.

A subject-specific time commitment to study will be provided by your lecturer or tutor at the beginning of semester to help you schedule your workload and successfully manage your time during the semester. In addition, general estimates of the total time commitment required to study a 12.5-point single semester subject in the Faculty of Arts can be found on Time commitment to study.
