Human services

If helping people in need is your calling, and you want to make positive contributions to their lives, we'll prepare you to take the lead in human services occupations.

With our wide range of specialisations, professional practice placements, and teachers recognised for their expertise in the field, there's no better place than Griffith to study human services.

Studying here, you'll be inspired and encouraged by a multidisciplinary team of lecturers with wide-ranging professional and practice backgrounds — youth, family and community, working with older people, rehabilitation, disability studies, Indigenous practice, social work, psychology, education and early childhood.

Offered our Logan and Gold Coast campuses, our human services degree will give you the tools to work in fields addressing equity, social justice, interdependence and human rights for people adversely affected by social, economic and cultural change.

You'll learn the strategies and techniques of intervention and an understanding of ethics and professional practice. You'll also get real world experience through external projects and a professional placement in the second semester of your final year.

If you're interested in the role human services plays within Australia's legal and social systems, you can combine your degree with a Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice.
