Thank you for interest in hosting a UniSA Social Work or Human Services student on placement for one or more students in the second half of 2012.

Allowing for some flexibility, placements are due to commence on 23rd July 2012 and students are expected to attend an agency between 3 (minimum) and 5 days per week. Bachelor and Master of Social Work students undertaking Field Education are required to attend for a total of 500 hours (approx 68 FTE days). Bachelor of Social Science (HS) students undertaking Field Education B are required to attend for a total of 300 hours (40 FTE days).

Program Information

BACHELOR OF SOCIAL SCIENCE (HUMAN SERVICES)

  • Students undertake two placements in their final year of study.

BACHELOR OF SOCIAL WORK

  • Honours students commence their placement in Study Period 6 (September-January)

MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK

Students are accepted into the Master of Social Work (Qualifying) on the basis of successful completion of a relevant undergraduate degree (such as psychology, social science or education).  Students undertake two 500 hour placements as part of their two year study program (approx 68 days for each placement).

  • PRACTICUM 1 - First year students are commencing their Social Work professional development and are beginning to develop their professional Social Work identity, their understanding of social work purpose, roles and functions and increasing their awareness and understanding of how these are integrated into their placement agency*

  • PRACTICUM 2 - This Practicum enables students to complete their requirements for a Masters of Social Work (Qualifying) and to further consolidate their social work knowledge and practice skills whilst working with a diverse range of clients, and preparing for entry into the profession of social work at the completion of their final placement*

* At this point Field Teachers are not required to have a Masters in Social Work qualification
