What you’ll study

The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Work is a combined undergraduate coursework degree that allows you to hone your analytical skills, think independently, and form and articulate judgements based on argument and evidence. It also provides you with the capacity to transfer knowledge and skills across different social contexts.

You will complete a major from the Arts and Social Sciences disciplinary pool, along with an additional minor in Sociology or Social Policy (or a minor or major from the disciplinary pool or the shared pool if you elected to take Sociology as your first major).

Additionally, you will complete units from the Open Learning Environment, and any elective units as needed to make up the required credit points for the degree.

After completing the Bachelor of Arts requirements, you will then complete core units from the Bachelor of Social Work
