BA and Bachelor of Social Work in Darlington Australia | The University of Sydney

This five-year program provides an extensive and adaptable combined degree that certifies you as an accredited social worker, while offering the opportunity to enrich your education with complementary majors and minors alongside the Bachelor of Social Work. Although the combined degree mandates a major or minor in Sociology, or a minor in Social Policy, you have the flexibility to select additional majors or minors in diverse fields like diversity studies, gender studies, Indigenous studies, or philosophy. The curriculum integrates social sciences, social policy, and social work theory and practice, with a particular focus on Australian and international social welfare studies. During the final two years, all students complete the professional social work component, featuring two supervised fieldwork placements in various settings under expert practitioners. Throughout the program, we establish field education learning objectives, striving to cultivate values, skills, and knowledge that progress students from beginners to professionals who meet the AASW Practice Standards.
