Arts

Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Social Work

Course code: 3426 + Caulfield, Clayton, Gippsland, off-campus learning + Administered by the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences

A combined course for the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Work degrees enables students to take out both degrees after four years of full-time study. Students complete 192 points of study in core arts and social work components

To satisfy the arts component of the double degree, students must complete 96 arts points (studies drawn from disciplines offered by schools in the Faculty of Arts), including a major, a minor, another first-year sequence and a further 12 points. In the first two years, students must be careful to select 24 points of arts units that satisfy the requirements of the Australian Association of Social Workers.
For further details, see the `Undergraduate studies' section in the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences entry in this handbook.
Note that it is possible to graduate from the Bachelor of Arts before completing all double degree requirements. To graduate from the Bachelor of Arts component of the double degree, students must have satisfied the above BA component requirements as well as successfully completed studies to the total value of 144 points. That is, students count up to 48 points of social work units towards those 144 points. Students must also complete at least 36 points at third-year level. No more than 60 points at first-year level may be counted.
