What skills and knowledge will I learn by studying Social Work at UWS?
To do this range of work social workers are trained: • in five key skills – casework, groupwork, community work, research and policy; • to use knowledge from the three discipline areas of psychology, sociology and political science. At the University of Western Sydney, the Social Work degree is informed by a ‘critical perspective’. This means we are committed to ensuring our graduates are equipped to work at the level of the individual, at all levels of the society, as well as being able to challenge and work towards change of this society’s processes.
