SOCIAL WORK FIELD EDUCATION 2 (MSWPG7208)

Students will participate in a 500-hour (minimum) Field Education placement which will facilitate advanced integration of theory, practice and research. Students will extend their knowledge and skills required for professional practice at an advanced level by being exposed to understanding how to work using group work skills on complex cases with multiple needs. Students will gain knowledge of how to develop appropriate social work methods of intervention in a multi-agency and multi-disciplinary context by integrating theories to practice by analysing the social, legal and ethical dimensions. Students will be expected to advance their knowledge and apply social work values, ethics, roles and responsibilities and reflect on their growing professional identity. Integrative seminars will assist and support students throughout this process, and provide opportunities for reflective practice, shared learning and mutual support.
