Programme Structure

Course structure:

In this first year, the formation of the student's identity as a social worker is increasingly supported by their ability to access new and relevant technical information and analyse and interpret it for new and relevant contexts.
Year two introduces the student to the nature of the social worker/client relationship, the roles of the social worker, the responsibilities that ensue from these roles, and a range of contexts where social work occurs.
Year three learning provides the student with the opportunity to consolidate their knowledge and understanding of the social worker 'identity' and the principles and practices that keep them, their clients and the organisation within which they are placed, safe.
Students are enabled to confirm the competencies expected of them as work-ready, new social work practitioners.
