Social Work MA

Designed for students who already hold an undergraduate degree in something other than social work, this course is a gateway for those wishing to qualify as social workers.

Suppose you love the idea of working with people in a significant way. In that case, you can have a valuable career as a social worker, providing help and support for individuals and families and working closely with communities, health professionals, and other agencies.

The course team’s strong links with our regional statutory, independent, voluntary, and private sector partners within the industry provide you with the opportunity to apply the theory you’ll learn at university in work practice placements. This enables you to build the skills and confidence needed to be an effective social worker and develop a professional network. You will also benefit from guest lectures from the industry; in the past, we have had Chief Social Worker for Adults Lyn Romeo talk about the profession’s future.
