BA and Bachelor of Social Work - Environmental, Agricultural and Resource Economics 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 enabling you to broaden your expertise with complementary majors and minors alongside the Bachelor of Social Work. Although the combined degree mandates either a Sociology major/minor or a Social Policy minor, you can 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 strong focus on Australian and international social welfare studies. During the final two years, all students complete the professional social work component, which involves two supervised fieldwork placements in various settings under expert practitioners. The program establishes field education learning goals and cultivates values, skills, and knowledge to progress from foundational to professional competency, meeting the AASW Practice Standards.

An Environmental, Agricultural and Resource Economics major equips you with critical insights into commodity markets, agricultural production economics, and analytical approaches to natural resource challenges. The program emphasizes building analytical, quantitative, and communication abilities. Graduates enjoy strong career opportunities as applied economists in commodities trading, financial institutions, government agencies, agribusiness corporations, and media roles such as economic journalism.
