Program Description

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. Our MA Social Work course is approved by Social Work England. This means, when you graduate, you can apply for professional registration to practice as a registered social worker. 

This two-year, full-time masters degree 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 by the time you complete your course.  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.You’ll often be in situations that are complex and challenging but you’ll be working towards bringing about positive changes for individuals, families and communities. 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 of this course.
