Why study Bachelor of Health Science and Bachelor of Social Work?

The double degree gives students a health science context for their social work degree, covering areas such as health promotion and health communications, 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.

Course details

Career opportunities

The core units in health science, health promotion and community capacity building will lead to a variety of community-based jobs in planning and organising health services, education and policy in clinics hospitals, community organisations and local government, public health departments, managed care and related institutions. Social workers work in both government and non-government settings and are involved in both chronic and critical care situations. They are employed by community groups, government departments and hospitals, where they contribute to the planning, administration and management of social and welfare services, or to the direct provision of services to people. Social workers also work in private practice as management or organisational consultants, or as family therapists, counsellors and psychotherapists.
