If students are driven to help people deal with personal and social problems, either directly or by planning and carrying out programs that will benefit groups or communities, the Western Sydney University's Social Work degree is the ideal program of study.It emphasises practical skills and makes them job-ready as you complete over 1,000 hours of supervised field placements. At the same time, students will access social research and theoretical perspectives.This will establish a pathway to a rewarding career in social work within private or government agencies, welfare support organisations, community groups or in health.
