Health science/social work

The new Bachelor of Health Science/Bachelor of Social Work is a four-year, full-time course offered at the Peninsula campus. The course provides students who are interested in a career in social work with an overview of health concepts and the health and social care system in which they will be practising.

The course brings together core components from the Bachelor of Health Science (BHSc) and Bachelor of Social Work (BSW). The health science component of the course uses unifying cases that integrate topics across units to draw together overlapping course content. The social work component covers the theory and practice of working with individuals, families, groups and communities and is accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).

The course includes fieldwork placements (14 weeks of full-time or equivalent in years three and four) as well as half-day site visits and a one-week rural placement in year one.
