Accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council, the BA Social Work degree programme will encompass social work theory, policy and practice. Social workers support the most vulnerable members of our society, and help them overcome difficulties and achieve their full potential. Our programme is designed to be both academically rigorous and supportive to ensure you are prepared to face the challenges your future career will bring.
By studying with us you will gain a thorough understanding of the theoretical foundations of social work, alongside its roots in psychology, sociology and other disciplines. You will learn about the social policy and legal context for social work, especially in areas relating to children and families, mental health, disability and older people. Over the course of your degree, you will complete 200 days in practice-based learning, working with at least two different vulnerable groups to ensure you are confident and qualified.
On completing your degree, you will be eligible to apply to the Health and Care Professions Council to register as a social worker.
