Program Aim
Social Work and Human Services offers a strong, well-established and integrated program in social work that is professionally accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers. The program is delivered through a combination of flexible approaches to teaching and learning which include supported online learning environments, problem-based teaching, 2 compulsory on-campus residential schools per year and supervised fieldwork placements. The program's flexibility appeals to students for whom a traditional, onsite program is less preferred or possible. The philosophies of problem-based and experiential learning, which promote life-long and self-managed learning, underpin the program as well as values associated with social justice, empowerment, appreciation of diversity and strong ethical practice. The Bachelor of Social Work program equips graduates to work effectively in many settings by providing them with strong analytical skills, sound knowledge of society, policy and social issues, and a range of advanced and creative skills relevant to working with individuals, families, communities and human service agencies. Demand for social workers within Australian human services continues to grow and CQUniversity graduates are very well regarded within the human services sector.
