Admission requirement
Available places will be offered to qualified applicants based on merit. Admission to candidature for the Master of Social Work requires:
- completion of the embedded Graduate Diploma in Social Work, or equivalent qualification; or
- both the four year Bachelor of Social Work degree of the University of Sydney, or equivalent qualification recognised by the Australian Association of Social Workers; and
- evidence of at least one year's full-time employment in Social Work.
In exceptional circumstances the Dean may admit applicants without these qualifications who, in the opinion of the faculty, have qualifications and evidence of experience and achievement sufficient to successfully undertake the award.
If you do not meet the requirements listed above for direct entry to the Master’s degree, you may be able to enter via a Graduate Diploma in the same subject area and upgrade to the Master’s after successful completion of the shorter course.
