Study Details: 2 years full-time
At the heart of social work is the promotion of human rights and social justice, and the protection of individuals and their families. It aims to bring about change through working in partnership with individuals, families and communities often at the point of distress and vulnerability.
This two-year, full-time course is designed for students with an undergraduate degree who wish to become registered social work practitioners. We'll make sure that you develop the skills and knowledge necessary to meet the professional standards when you graduate.
As a registered social worker, you’ll work within health and social care teams, including statutory, independent and voluntary services. You’ll work in partnership with a range of professionals across many services and disciplines, including health, the police and housing. It can be difficult to appreciate the difference social workers make until you’ve experienced professional practice and that’s why you’ll complete work-based placements in both years.

Our MA Social Work course is approved by Social Work England. This means, when you graduate, you can apply for professional registration with Social Work England to practise as a registered social worker.
You might work in a social services department within a local authority or for an organisation such as the NHS. Perhaps you’ll work for a private company, such as in a residential care home, or for a charity. You could also specialise in an area you’re particularly interested in, such as social work with children and families, social work with adults, social work and mental health. From working with children and young people leaving care, or people experiencing domestic violence to adults with learning disabilities, you could develop your career as a social worker across a number of different areas.
