Bachelor of Community Services
Box Hill Institute, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Box Hill Institute's Bachelor of Community Services, CRICOS 082590E, is a 3 year, 24 subject degree built around service delivery in the community services sector: students develop a broad understanding of the principles and theories underlying the field, analyse traditional welfare models against contemporary theoretical perspectives, and study cultural safety with a strong Indigenous focus.
The course combines classroom study with practical placement and applied learning subjects, giving students real world experience in and around the community services sector alongside a cohort of fellow students they're encouraged to learn from and support. Teaching covers applicable legislation and regulation, and builds decision making and communication strategies for community services work.
The institute's own learning outcomes emphasise professional communication, critical evaluation of community services theory, self management, teamwork across diverse disciplines, and analysing community development within a global context that takes cultural and socioeconomic diversity into account, preparing graduates for roles such as child protection practitioner, alcohol and other drugs worker, crisis intervention worker or residential care officer.
