Course summary

The BA (Hons) in Social Work at Chester offers an exciting opportunity to gain your social work qualification. Alongside teaching and learning sessions based at our Warrington Town Centre campus, you will also undertake two placements located within private, voluntary and charitable organisations, as well as statutory social work departments. As a University within the Cheshire and Merseyside Social Work Teaching Partnership, your social work career is supported from the day you register at the University of Chester, with wide-reaching Teaching Partnership post-qualifying options available if you pursue your social work career locally.

Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to develop relationships with your fellow students, university staff and a range of people and departments who will support you in your practice learning journey. We aim to help you engage in learning, and to foster your sense of belonging to a community of learners. We provide a supportive culture to motivate learners to progress and succeed, with personal tutors playing a key role in providing personalised support. You will also have opportunities to use all the university services open to Warrington-based students such as student support services, university societies and sports teams.

On successful completion of your BA (Hons) in Social Work, you will be eligible to apply to register with the professional regulator Social Work England as a qualified social worker. The NHS Learning Support Fund provides additional funding for eligible students studying social work. Further details can be found on the NHS Learning Support Fund page on our website.
