How You Learn

At Sheffield Hallam, all our courses are designed to engage you with the world and challenge you to think in new ways. You’ll get to collaborate with others, and you’ll be taught in a supportive environment where you can thrive. On this course you’ll experience a blended approach to learning and teaching – on campus, online and in work placements – which mirrors how you’ll work in practice. You’ll be taught in class by academic staff who are research-active, both locally and internationally. We’ll be joined by international social work researchers who help you challenge and be part of real-life social work research, in groups or individually.You’ll learn in active and independent ways – across teaching, practice and individual study.

You’ll also return to Hallam on several ‘recall days’ for peer support, skills development and critical reflection.
