The double degree not only provides a sound foundation for social work practice, but also develops knowledge and skills in critical analysis in various arts disciplines.
Students can complement and enhance their social work studies by choosing from study areas within the Bachelor of Arts, such as psychology, sociology and Indigenous studies.
Social work is one of the fastest growing areas of employment in the fields of health, mental health, education, and child and family welfare. Social workers are able to work in clinical or practice settings, in policy writing, program evaluation and development and research.
Graduates work in a broad variety of areas - for government and community agencies - in schools, correctional institutions, hospitals, community health centres, mental health services, drug and alcohol programs, family and children's services, multicultural agencies, housing services and with refugees.
Monash students have an excellent record in gaining employment after graduation.
