Structure of the Bachelor of Social Work

If you study full-time, in your first year, you’ll take eight 15-credit courses, making a total of 120 credits.

If you wish to study over two semesters, you should aim for 60 credits per semester. Most courses are offered in a single semester each year. Make sure you include courses that are prerequisites for the next level of courses you wish to study.

The Bachelor of Social Work is a parts-based qualification. That means you must complete the first part, before moving to the second, etc.

Part One – Tumu (Foundation)

Part One provides an understanding of people and society, particularly in New Zealand. Tumu is the foundational year introducing core concepts and knowledge for social work as a profession.

Part Two – Taha (Framework)

Taha brings a deeper understanding of social work theories and practice, social policy and engagement with diverse communities.

Part Three – Tuanui (Roof)

Tuanui concentrates on decolonising theories and concepts in social and community work practice. An exciting feature is participation at a Noho Marae.

Part Four – Whare (House)

Whare consolidates learning and skills as an authentic and integrated beginning practitioner.

In Parts Three and Four, you will complete supervised placements in social service agencies.

Part-time study

If you work for more than 12-15 hours a week, we recommend you enrol for part-time study. This could be one to three courses per semester. Please contact us to plan out your part-time study.

Second semester start

If you are applying to begin the Bachelor of Social Work in the second semester (mid-year), please contact us to help you plan your degree.

Distance students

You'll study the BSW via distance learning. Some courses include compulsory in-person contact workshops (from Year One). Dates for contact workshops are on each course page. Students can choose to attend these workshops at either the Auckland or Manawatū campus.

Withdrawing from courses

Withdrawing from a course may impact on you being able to progress to the next part of your Bachelor of Social Work. Prior to withdrawing from a course we recommend you make contact with one of the Bachelor of Social Work Coordinators located within the School of Social Work.

Requirements while you are studying

  • You will complete supervised placements in social service agencies in your third year (field education). By this time you are required to have a full New Zealand driver’s licence.
  • During the course of your study, you will continue to meet our requirements under the Children Act 2014, and under the Social Workers Registration Board ‘Fit and Proper Person policy and Code of Conduct.

Supervised placements – field education

A critical part of the degree are two field education courses. These consist of 120 days (in total) of approved work placements supervised by a registered social worker. You must pass these courses to progress to the next part of the degree. Field education is assessed through both academic and practice requirements.

Re-applying after a break

If you are returning to the Bachelor of Social Work at Massey after a break of two years or more, you must apply for re-entry to the programme.

Credits
Each course is worth a number of credits. You combine courses (credits) to meet the total number of credits needed for your qualification.
Specialisations
Some qualifications let you choose what subject you'd like to specialise in. Your major or endorsement is what you will take the majority of your courses in.
