What is the best degree for social work?

Published: Apr 10, 2025

The best degree for social work in Australia is:

  • Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) – The most common pathway into professional social work.
  • Master of Social Work (MSW – Qualifying) – A fast-track option for those with a related undergraduate degree.

Both degrees are AASW-accredited, making graduates eligible for skilled migration visas and PR pathways. Not sure which degree is right for you? Book a consultation today!
