Master of Social Work- 058234C

They mobilise the forces of individuals, the community, and state organisations to transform lives and create lasting and meaningful social change. RMIT has been teaching social work for over 40 years, and our programs continue to reflect up-to-date ideas about social work and its place in a changing world. Our graduates are resilient, outspoken members of society who advocate a fairer world for all. Field education forms a large component of the social work course. You'll undertake 140 days of work placements within human and community service organisations.
Your studies will commence with courses that introduce you to professional practice frameworks and develop your interpersonal and communication skills, culminating in a capstone experience which orients you to your future professional practice. Coursework is designed to prepare you for two work integrated learning experiences, in which you will undertake two 70-day placements working alongside social work practitioners in a range of organisations.
Graduates are highly employable in human services organisations, community-based agencies, various levels of government, and increasingly in corporate and private enterprise.
Some graduates help to develop social policy, some engage in research, some assist communities to develop their own services, and some provide services to individuals and families. In a social work career, there are ample opportunities to pursue different specialisations and interests.

You must have successfully completed an Australian bachelor degree (or equivalent overseas qualification) in a relevant discipline which includes at least one year of full time studies in social sciences (or equivalent).
