Visit programme website for more information

Overview

At the Human Services (with specialisations) programme from Charles Sturt University you'll master foundational theory and cutting-edge ideas from across the human services sector then put it all into action on useful work placements.

Key facts

  • Progress your diploma: This degree supports graduates of the two-year full-time (or equivalent) Diploma of Community Services or similar provided by Australian TAFE and registered training organisations. If you have completed this diploma or similar, the credit awarded towards your degree could reduce the course duration to as little as 1.5 years full-time (3 years part-time).
  • Shape your future career: Choose from a wide range of majors including Australian Indigenous Communities and Culture, Child, Youth and Family Practice, Disability, Gerontology and Healthy Ageing, Mental Health and Addiction, and Multicultural Welfare. If you can't choose between these you can always decide to graduate with a broader generic Bachelor of Human Services instead. 
  • Graduate industry-ready: This human services course is widely recognised as a base-grade qualification to secure employment with a range of human services agencies across the Australian Commonwealth, state and territory governments as well as non-government charities and private service providers.
  • Common first year: Gain a solid grounding in a common first year that is shared with the Bachelor of Social Work allowing you flexibility and a taste of both degrees.

Career opportunities

When you graduate, you'll be ready to make your mark in a wide range of careers, including:

  • Aged care professional
  • Careers counsellors
  • Child protection officer
  • Community development officer or educator
  • Crisis counsellor or multicultural support officer
  • Disability care worker
  • Juvenile justice officer
  • Case worker and case manager
