Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) / Bachelor of Arts - Indigenous Studies (Dual Degree)

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) / Bachelor of Arts is a five-year double degree that develops your worldview and prepares you to directly improve the lives of vulnerable individuals. Experience practical and theoretical classes under guidance from industry professionals and current social workers.

Pursue studies that you love and deepen your understanding of the world with your choice of humanities, languages, and social studies subjects. You'll build diverse skills and knowledge in the arts, complemented with human services such as mental health, social work counselling, community work, sociology, psychology, and working with Indigenous communities.

In addition to two social work placements, you’ll have opportunities for arts-related internships in Australia and overseas. Graduate with real connections, real experience, and professional skills accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers.

Major: Indigenous Studies
Indigenous Studies is a theoretically complex and continually developing field of inquiry which collects, develops and redistributes an ever-expanding corpus of knowledge about and for Indigenous peoples. As a student studying the Indigenous Studies Major, you will be led in a sequential way to understand that solutions in practice requires deep, ongoing, critical reflection at the level of theory and practice.

The Indigenous Studies Major culminates in a capstone course, where you will practice navigating a range of issues potentially encountered in the workplace. Understanding Indigenous knowledge and practice, and the historical relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia are required for comprehension of the complex mix of continuities, ruptures and convergences that condition the contemporary Indigenous position and how it can be understood.

The Indigenous Studies Major is designed for those of you seeking to specialise in Indigenous Studies as the central focus of your degree program. If you are interested in Indigenous Studies, but do not have room in your program, you may consider studying an Indigenous Studies Minor.
