The purpose of the social work degree is to equip social work graduates with a
sound general foundation for beginning social work practice. The social work
section seeks to comply with, and where possible exceed, the minimum
requirements established by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW)
for social work educational courses leading to a first qualification in social
work.
The
course is a two-plus-two course, ie two years of prerequisite studies at degree
level, or a completed degree with specified subjects, followed by two years of
study focusing on core social work subjects.
Prerequisites for admission to the course are the completion of a relevant
first degree, or the first two years of a relevant degree.
'Relevant' in this instance has two uses and both are applicable. It means
(i) that the subjects in the first Australian degree, or in the first two
years of the degree must be deemed equivalent to similar subjects at similar
levels at Monash University, (ii) that the applicant will have studied in
a past Monash or other Australian degree, or in the first two years of a degree
deemed equivalent as per (i) above, subjects that are prescribed by the
AASW. The subjects prescribed by the AASW as suitable include sociology,
anthropology, politics, economics, history, social theory, psychology, human
development and behaviour.
This program is also offered by flexible learning on a part-time or full-time
basis.
Due to possible restructuring within the Faculty of Arts, the third year of the
undergraduate social work program may be taught at the Caulfield campus in
2000. Successful applicants will be advised of the teaching location when
offers are made later in 1999. Any changes to the teaching location of subjects
will have no impact on the structure of this degree program.
All subjects are compulsory.
