Program Description
Program Description
Social work is a valuable and necessary profession in our society, particularly as society grows increasingly complex. Social justice and human rights principles are fundamental to social work practice in assisting the improvement of social functioning and social well-being.
Social workers work with individuals, families, groups, schools and communities, especially with disadvantaged members of society, for whom they may provide advocacy and other skills and services. It is also important that as a profession, social workers have a capacity to carry out research and build a foundation of knowledge to further work in the field, as well as the capacity to analyze, influence and, when necessary, challenge social policies.
Social Work is available as a specified program for the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) only. Graduates of the BSW will be equipped with these skills and abilities and more. The BSW can be awarded with Honors. The degree program for the BSW is delivered at the Windermere Campus in Tauranga. This campus is shared in partnership between the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic and the University of Waikato.
