A Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) degree with first or upper second class honours or a Bachelor of Social Work and the equivalent of a Curtin Postgraduate Diploma in Social Welfare. Applicants with a superior performance in the Bachelor of Social Work and work experience are considered.
Duration and Availability
The course is by research and normally requires one to two years of full-time or equivalent part-time study.
Course Organisation
This course is studied as a research degree. The content of the degree should be determined in consultation with the postgraduate coordinator, Department of Social Work and Social Policy. Students without prior studies in research methods and statistical data analysis will be required to undertake relevant preparatory units. This will increase the stated course duration.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials.
Special Note
It is a requirement that two-thirds of this course is undertaken by research and only one-third by coursework. Students should not enrol in this research degree to receive a related postgraduate diploma but rather have undertaken it as a requisite for admission.
