The Bachelor of Social Work at CQUniversity was the first four year degree program to be offered through distance education in Queensland. You will benefit from experienced academic staff who support students undertaking the program from around the country.

This program includes a range of courses focusing on social work knowledge, values, and skills with cognate disciplines also enhancing your social work education such as psychology, sociology and Indigenous studies. At CQUniversity, our education and training philosophy focuses on learning from contemporary social work scenarios that are often authored by colleagues working in the human services sector in collaboration with academic staff. We also have well-established industry relationships, as well as student exchange programs with several international universities.

This program is accredited and recognised in every state in Australia and will qualify you to work in several other countries without seeking additional accreditation. Your learning is supported with online resources and one intensive three day residential school per term, on-campus in either Noosa or Rockahmpton. This combination of face-to-face residentials, regular online activities with staff and peers, and small learning groups, will equip you with advanced level skills, including critical reflection, self-directed research and learning, problem-solving and teamwork.

The flexibility of assessment items across many courses allows you to focus your learning around workplace issues you may be experiencing or the community in which you live. The program incorporates two unpaid field education experiences; one undertaken at the beginning of the third year of the program (12 weeks of equivalent full-time work) and one in the final term of the fourth year (16 weeks of equivalent full-time work).
