澳洲社会工作者文科生的移民好选择

周末无休，为了为广大生朋友寻找出路，更加系统的介绍的留学机会，俺又开始奋笔疾书了。工作中经常遇到学文科的同学经常抱怨，翻译不能移民了、商科又不喜欢、教师课程又不够，到底该选择哪些文科课程呢？今天我就给大家讲解一下社会工作者这个专业（272511 Social Worker）。

1. 社会工作者协会(AASW):

成立于1946年，是代表了澳州所有社工的专业行业协会，The AASW is the professional representative body of social workers in Australia. It was formed in 1946 at the federal level。

2. 社会工作者的职能和目标：

社会工作者是致力于社会公平、提高生活质量和开发个人团体和社区的潜能的一种工作。社会工作者追求解决当今社会普遍存在的各种障碍、不平等和不公正现象，他们积极参与解决公民个人的压力和危机境况。主要方法是通过帮助个人实现他们的智力、体力和情感的潜力，通过和个人、团体和社区合作来达到社会、经济和政治资源的公平分配。

Social work is the profession committed to the pursuit of social justice, to the enhancement of the quality of life and the development of the full potential of each individual, group and community in society. Social workers pursue these goals by working to address the barriers, inequalities, and injustices that exist in society, and by active involvement in situations of personal distress and crisis. This is done by working with individuals towards the realiion of their intellectual, physical and emotional potentials, and by working with individuals, groups and communities in the pursuit and achievement of equitable access to social, economic and political resources.

社会工作者的目标是

－参与研究、政策制定分析、和管理；

－和个人、团体、社区协作制定和改变生存环境的条件；

－为社会弱势群体争取更多利益；

－铲除社会结构性不公正现象，推广公平财富资源分配 ；

－致力于研究以建立知识库加强对社会的了解；

－分析、挑战和发展当前的各类社会政策 ；

3. 哪些大学开始认可的社会工作者课程？

澳大利亚有很多大学提供这个课程，总体本科时间为4年，硕士2年。完成2年社区福利(Welfare worker)高级文凭的学生可以获得25%-50%的学分转移。也就是说完成2年社区福利后需要再上2-3年完成本科学位。

6. 留学生的课程选择：

我本科不是社会工作者但是在澳洲学2年社会工作硕士可以申请吗？ I have an undergraduate degree and a 2 year Masters in Social Work. Will I be eligible?

无需本科是社会工作专业，比如本科是心理学、社会课程、社会学、咨询顾问学等也可以申请，不过硕士必须是Qualifying的硕士才可以。Applicants with non social work but relevant undergratuate degrees (ie Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Social Science or Sociology) and accredited post graduate social work qualifying courses should submit the required documentation for both periods of study. This is recommended as some of the units completed in the undergraduate studies are likely to be relevant and used to assist in the process of ensuring all the assessment criteria are met. All applicants need to ensure that their Masters was a qualifying Masters not a Masters Advanced which is not a social work qualifying course.
