Program Overview
Want to make a rewarding and positive contribution to society? Social workers support children and families through child protection procedures, fostering and adoption and youth justice to name but a few. They also support adults with issues including disability, drug and alcohol dependency, mental health, homelessness and safeguarding. You'll spend over 170 days on real-life placements with adults and children so you graduate ready to start your professional career.
In your first year, your work will cover the foundations of social work. You’ll start developing your professional identity in the complex environment of social work, learning about everything from the values that underpin theory and practice to the importance of self and identity, and the perspectives of users and carers to the connections between local and global issues. You’ll learn through doing, spending a minimum of 30 days in preparation for practice.
Key features
- Get a head start – on successful completion of the course you can apply to become a registered social worker.
- Stand out from the crowd with a degree recognised by Social Work England.
- Benefit from the expertise of our network of partner agencies across the social work spectrum, learning from professionals to develop your skills.
- Enhance your career options – six months after finishing the course, 95% of our graduates are in work or further study (source: 2019 DLHE survey*).
- Gather insights and develop a real understanding of social work through our highly commended approach to integrated learning.
- Build your hands-on knowledge and experience on an excellent variety of placements, working in real-life adult and childcare settings in all three years.
- Engage with real service users and carers at every stage of your learning, so you graduate primed to put effective strategies to use in the workplace.
