Course summary

This integrated Master’s degree in Social Work is a professional qualifying course, designed to equip you with the necessary skills to succeed in a future career within the industry. The four-year programme combines undergraduate and postgraduate study into a single degree, helping to prepare you to work in all social care settings – within statutory, voluntary, private sectors, and in multidisciplinary settings and work teams – including residential, field, day care, healthcare, and education. This course will introduce you to anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive practice within a complex and multi-cultural society, and within the context of professional and agency standards and requirements.


Why Study Social Work MSci at University of Huddersfield?

You’ll be taught by experienced staff with a variety of backgrounds in social work and social care. You can also hear first-hand experiences and viewpoints from service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group. Enhancing your studies, you’ll undertake work placements in your third and fourth year, in a social work or related setting. This will help to increase your future employability prospects and give you the chance to make useful contacts in industry. Following the course, you’ll be eligible to apply to register with Social Work England, which is the regulatory body for social workers in England. You might go on to work with a range of service user groups, including vulnerable adults, children and families, young people, people with learning disabilities or people with mental health issues, in either statutory or non-statutory settings.
