Masters (Coursework)
There is high demand for social work Masters-qualified graduates for leadership positions throughout Victoria. The MSW(Q) (Children & Families) will equip you with the interpersonal communication and leadership skills, knowledge of social work theory, and field education experience to confidently practice as a social work leader across Victoria and elsewhere.
You might be a new graduate looking for a clear career path or an experienced social worker wanting to take the next step in your professional life. Or perhaps you are ready for a career change and want to step into social work. Whatever your background, we'll prepare you to work across human and community services in government bodies, non-government organisations, community and health services and more.
This course has a particular focus on families and children, so you'll become confident working with migrant families, families experiencing violence, young people in child protection, youth services and much more.
You'll be exposed to challenging real life situations through 140 days during your studies in social work settings, being mentored by experienced professionals in the field. Then, once you graduate, you can go on to be a qualified social worker, take up management positions or work in national or international policy development.
This is an Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) accredited qualification, and is an entry qualification into the social work profession. It has been deemed to meet the Australian Social Work Education and Accreditation Standards.
