Bachelor of Social Work
This seems to be common as a qualification name.
This qualification is a 3 year undergraduate course, as is a bachelor's.

An English person might assume so, as I don't think you can do a bachelor's degree outside of a university here. I think they are still equivalents, though (or designed to be).

Example sentence:
The aim of the Bachelor of Social Work is to prepare students for entry level professional practice in social work
Note from asker:
But this is Not in a University but rather a 'Haute Ecole' , a Non-University Higher Education Institution, so not sure 'bachelor is right? Isn't bachelor a degree from university ONLY?! |

: In the UK, polytechnics used to award degrees (including BAs and BScs) through the CNAA. So, I don't think it is limited to universities.

Not only universities
"In New Zealand, only recognised institutions—usually universities—have degree awarding powers. Most bachelor's degrees are three years full time, ..."
"In the United States, many colleges (particularly liberal arts colleges) as well as universities award the Bachelor of Arts for all academic (non pre-professional) subjects. In these institutions, students studying academic subjects (English, chemistry, etc.) would receive a Bachelor of Arts while students studying for professions (police science, finance, nursing) would receive a Bachelor of Sciences."
"Higher education institutions that award only taught degrees but which do not meet the numerical criteria may apply to use the title ‘university college’, although not all choose to do so.
All of these institutions are subject to the same regulatory quality assurance and funding requirements as universities; and all institutions decide for themselves which students to admit and which staff to appoint.
Degrees and other higher education qualifications are legally owned by the awarding institution, not by the state.
The names of institutions with their own degree awarding powers (“Recognised Bodies”) are set out at: http://www.dfes.gov.uk/recognisedukdegrees/annex4.shtml
Institutions able to offer courses leading to a degree of a recognised body (“Listed Bodies”) are listed by the English, authorities. The list may be found at: http://www.dfes.gov.uk/recognisedukdegrees/annex5.shtml.&quo...

Mode d’emploi : ENSEIGNEMENT SUPÉRIEUR
Etudier en Communauté française 2009-2010
La formation
Depuis septembre 2004,*** l’enseignement supérieur, qu’il soit universitaire ou non***, a été profondément modifié par la mise en place de la réforme de Bologne. Il est articulé autour de 3 cycles : les bacheliers (1er cycle) remplacent les graduats et candidatures; les masters (2ème cycle) succèdent aux licences. Un 3ème cycle, le doctorat, est proposé uniquement dans les Universités.
Qu’est-ce que l’Enseignement supérieur hors université ?
Il est proposé dans ***25 Hautes Ecoles***, 4 Instituts supérieurs d’Architecture ainsi que 17 Ecoles supérieures des Arts.
***Les Hautes Ecoles*** organisent un enseignement supérieur de type court et de type long. Les études sont classées en huit catégories: Agronomique, Arts appliqués, Economique, Paramédicale, Pédagogique, Sociale, Technique, Traduction et Interprétation …
Les Ecoles supérieures des Arts proposent également un enseignement supérieur de type court et de type long…
Les Instituts supérieurs d’Architecture offrent un enseignement supérieur de type long… Leur intégration au sein des Universités est prévue à partir de l’année 2010.
***Les formations de type court sont organisées en un seul cycle sanctionné par le grade académique de BACHELIER***. Elles comprennent de 180 à 240 crédits qui peuvent être acquis respectivement en trois ou, exceptionnellement, quatre années d’études. Ces formations sont à la fois pratiques et théoriques et mènent souvent directement à l’exercice d’un métier spécifique. Certaines Hautes Ecoles offrent en outre une année
de spécialisation à l’issue du 1er cycle.
L’ enseignement supérieur de type long est organisé en deux cycles :
***Le 1er cycle comprend 180 crédits qui peuvent être acquis en trois années d’études. Il conduit au diplôme de BACHELIER***.
Le 2ème cycle comprend 60 ou 120 crédits qui peuvent être acquis respectivement en une ou deux années d’études au moins et mène au diplôme de MASTER.

Discussion
These qualifications are designed to be equivalent to a Bachelor's degree - they replaced the Belgian graduat, régendat, candidature and licence qualifications as part of the Bologna Process.
