Social Work Education and Training
You must have a university degree to practice social work. A Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) requires four years of university study. An additional year of graduate study is required for a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. If you have a non-social work undergraduate degree you must complete two years of study for your MSW degree. Completion of an MSW ensures better opportunities for advancement. Some organizations will require an MSW as their minimal educational requirement.
