Bachelor of Social Work | Bachelor of Social Work (Honours)

Make a difference in your community. With a degree in social work you will be ready to help empower individuals, families and whole communities to create positive change.

 

Social workers are employed in areas of community development, health and education, child protection, family work, drug and alcohol, domestic violence, probation and reintegration, and more. This inquiry-based degree will prepare you to practice within the bicultural social work context of Aotearoa.

 

As part of your training you’ll be assigned to social work placements in agencies. You will also gain the skills to reflect on your own perceptions, actions, and processes, as well as the ability to promote social justice. Upon graduating, you will be able to apply for provisional registration as a social worker with the Social Workers Registration Board.

 

If you receive high grades in your third year of study, you may be invited to enrol on the Honours programme in your fourth year enabling you to graduate with a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours).
