Master of Social Work

The Master of Social Work (Professional Qualifying) encompasses areas such as child protection, cross-cultural and Indigenous studies, ethics, human rights, law, mental health, social policy, and in-depth study of social work methods and theories. You'll learn about people, communities, groups and social structures and how to think, communicate and respond to need and opportunity.

If you have an undergraduate degree in an area other than social work, but want to move into this rewarding career, our Master of Social Work (Professional Qualifying) is ideal. You can study this social work master's degree online, and because it's accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), you can be confident you'll have the skills to make a difference when you graduate.

Completing a postgraduate social work course opens up so many career opportunities. You could tackle human rights issues in Australia or across the globe, explore social justice opportunities, influence policy in social work, or seek a promotion in your current field. It's time to shape the future of social work – and your career.
