The Course

Our degree is a full-time, three year programme leading to a professional qualification in social work, as well as an academic award.

We’re certain that what you learn with us will change the way you see yourself and others, challenging the stereotypes and questioning assumptions about age, disability, ethnicity and gender.

You’ll also explore the balance between an individual’s place in society and the effect of society upon individuals, and look at how effective social work empowers people to take control of their lives.

There are several core areas of knowledge you will acquire during your studies, including the service delivery context, values and ethics, social work theory and the nature of social work practice. You’ll develop a number of core skills too, from problem solving and communication to teamwork and research.
