Course summary

If you’re passionate about making a difference to children, families and adults, our 3-year BA Social Work course – approved by Social Work England – is for you. Social work changes lives. We know. We've been training social workers for more than 20 years, and our graduates continue to make a difference to the children, families and adults they work with.This challenging yet rewarding career will often bring you into the lives of some of the most disadvantaged and marginalised communities.The chances are you’re naturally patient, honest and tolerant – someone with sound judgement who sees the value in people. We’ll nurture those qualities, while giving you the knowledge and skills you need to qualify as a social worker.Study with us in Cambridge, Chelmsford, or Peterborough and develop your skills out on placement while you are an undergraduate. Social work is about empowering children, families and adults. It’s a complex job that demands a lot of soft skills, such as communication and partnership working. We work closely with our SUCI Group– Supporting Social Work Education with Lived Experience, so that you can learn directly from people with a lived experience of accessing services. There is ample opportunity to learn on the job too, with 170 days out on placement during your studies.All of our students do two practice placements. You’ll do 70 days in Year 2, and 100 days in Year 3. One of your placements will involve statutory tasks, including legal interventions. Both placements are an invaluable opportunity to learn in the workplace and you’ll cover a range of topics such as engagement, assessment, interpersonal skills, interventions, safeguarding and the appropriate use of authority.
