Field education is a core element and a major part of the student's development of a professional identity. It provides an opportunity for students to observe, question and model social work behaviour. Each practicum is integrated with a subject covering social work theory and practice.
In order to meet the requirements of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), students must complete 1,000 hours of supervised field education. This is undertaken in two practicums in approved agencies. Every attempt is made to accommodate students in placements close to their place of residence and to tailor the practicum to suit the schedules of individual students, but such placements cannot be guaranteed.

CSU has developed a scholarship program specifically for TAFE students to help out with the cost of studying. Called the CSU ‘TAFE to University’ scholarship program, each scholarship is worth $2,500 cash.
CSU has developed a large range of degree pathway programs with TAFE, which combine TAFE and university study. At the end of a degree pathway program, students graduate with a number of nationally recognised qualifications, including a university degree.
