Summary
The social care sector is diverse and dynamic. Rapidly changing individual and population social care needs, alongside more personalised approaches, offers challenges and opportunities for social work in Local Government, the NHS, and in voluntary and independent organisations to develop flexible and new ways of delivering holistic integrated and inter-professional services.
Our exciting and transformational pre-registration social work programme is mapped against the Social Work England professional standards and is designed to enable you to develop into a competent and confident practitioner who will meet the requirement for entry onto the Social Work England Register in your chosen field of practice and achieve a degree.
The MA Social Work will enable you to develop the necessary knowledge and skills needed to work with children and adults, recognising and working towards protecting children and vulnerable adults from harm and helping to improve their wellbeing and quality of life, as well as supporting their carers and families across the lifespan.
On this course, you’ll develop specialised knowledge, skills and the resilience you need to develop and influence future social work practice through confident proactive leadership, practice development aided by digital technology, an international, national and local perspective, and a research-informed focus.
Two professional placements will enhance your understanding of Social Work theory and practice. Your practice placements will be in two disparate settings, in areas such as children and families social work and social work with vulnerable adults. At least one of your placements will be in a setting that provides statutory learning opportunities and another may be with a charitable and private organisation, such as Catholic Care or other local voluntary agencies.
Our MA Social Work is approved by Social Work England, the regulatory body for social workers in England. As well as gaining an MA qualification, successful completion of this degree programme will allow you to apply for entry onto the Social Work England register in your chosen field of social work.
