The Bachelor of Social Work at Charles Sturt University is a highly regarded and practical course that enables you to enter a profession of critical importance in addressing social injustice at local, national and global levels.

  • Get a head start on your career

If you choose to study at our Dubbo or Port Macquarie campuses, your degree will be integrated with TAFE NSW. This means you can attain a Diploma of Community Services after two years of study. You get credit for the diploma as you undertake the second half of your bachelor's, so you graduate with two qualifications in the same time it typically takes to gain a degree. You'll also be well-placed to gain work experience as you complete your studies.

  • Outstanding reputation

Charles Sturt University is a leading provider of social work education, and is number one in Australia for social work graduates who get jobs.* While Charles Sturt University social work graduates can work throughout the world, they are often found at the heart of communities in rural and regional areas.

Your studies will also incorporate academic research that's impacting on contemporary policy and social work practice. *Good Universities Guide 2022/23
