About

Overview

The Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) / Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) combines two highly respected degrees to give you a unique, broad grounding across both areas.

This degree will increase your knowledge and understanding of human development, and how such factors interact within individual, group, organisational, community and policy contexts. You will be prepared to think critically about the social world and to influence change through your practice, advocacy, or research. Social workers and psychologists often work side-by-side in organisations where a balancing act of expertise in both areas is required.

You will be prepared for employment in general social work practice and settings requiring an understanding of psychology. You will be equipped to apply interdisciplinary knowledge to address complex social problems.

This social work and psychology double degree combines the Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) and the Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology).

How you will learn

Taught by and working alongside industry professionals, you will build important skills and knowledge across industry best practice, cutting edge technology and software designed for fashion.

From the start of your course, you will have opportunities to work on real projects with industry.

During second year you will undertake a major industry project, where you will work with and be mentored by professionals at major Australian brands, such as Country Road, Myer, Sportsgirl and Target. You will also have work placement opportunities such as internships at Cotton On, and the Dior Women Program.

With access to RMIT's extensive and long-standing industry relationships, you will be able to build professional networks and connect with mentors that will follow you throughout your career.

Studying in state-of-the-art facilities at our Brunswick campus, you will learn through a series of lectures, workshops, presentations and project work. Assessment is via projects, reports, presentations, group projects, tests and practical assignments.
