Course overview
The double degree gives students a health science context for their social work degree, covering areas such as health promotion and health education, community health, health informatics, health policy and health administration.
Social work addresses the barriers, inequities and injustices that exist in society, to enhance quality of life for individuals, groups and communities. Social workers often are actively involved in situations of personal distress and crisis. They work with individuals to help them realise their intellectual, physical and emotional potential and with individuals, groups and communities to achieve equitable access to social, economic and political resources.
