Bachelor of Social Work Western Sydney University - WSU

Positives: Most of the tutorials are content heavy which provides me with a lot of knowledge and learning experiences, it makes assignments and exams a lot easier because I know exactly what I am doing.

Negatives: This semester they decided to combine two classes as one, and they’ve done that with a number of units through the course and the university. This has become a lot more difficult because there are twice the amount of students, there are two tutors available in the class but I still feel as though there isn’t enough one on one time with the tutors, and I feel that the tutors themselves become quite overwhelmed with the amount of students in the class

My advice to future students is: Plan out each one of your semesters before starting it. This helps you track your assignments and keep you on top of your schedule and all the work you need to do.

Positives are the very open and understanding community within the campuses between students and staff, it’s very face-to-face and personable.

Only negative have been the unnecessary, recent rebranding of the University which at times obstructed the majority of online aspects of the University services, including enrolments, communication with staff and even study.

My advice to future students is: There’s always a way to navigate your way into the degree or course you’re interested in, don’t worry about getting there immediately, you’ll find a way to get there eventually. You can always change your degree/course, it doesn’t matter if you know what you want to do straight away, enrol in anything and give it a go. Also if you find that further study and University isn’t for you, that’s 100% okay too.
