Description:

This four-year course, which includes two years of postgraduate study, provides an advanced alternative to standard three-year BA Social Work degrees. You'll gain a Masters-level qualification which is highly valued by employers. You'll have opportunities to gain experience on placements in three diverse social work settings and receive a broader grounding in the social sciences.

Through a carefully tailored programme of coursework and practical learning, you'll gain the knowledge and skills required as a professional social worker. You will develop abilities that enable you to join a rapidly changing and fast-paced profession. The integration of practice, theory and research means you will be a competent and critically reflective social worker, able to make informed judgements based on sound analysis, often in unpredictable circumstances.
