Course summary

Course overview

Social workers play a vital role in protecting vulnerable people, promoting human rights and helping people to make changes. As a social worker, you could be working with children, older people, carers, and people with disabilities in a role that is challenging but also incredibly rewarding.

Our MA Social Work will give you insights into human life and the world around us. You will consider topics such as social justice, equality and diversity and advocacy.

You will learn how to communicate with people, build effective relationships, and create reports which you may need to present in court. You will develop skills in the classroom, through two placements, and on skills days.

Our course is regulated by Social Work England and prepares you to practice in both adults and children’s services. Successful completion of the course makes you eligible to apply for registration as a social worker with Social Work England.
