Summary
Why study this course?
Our Social Work MSc course is professionally accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Once you’ve successfully completed the course and become a registered social worker with the HCPC, you’ll also be eligible for membership of the British Association of Social Workers.
Your career will benefit from our course with its history rooted in the principles of equality and social justice. It covers a wide range of social work subjects, helping you to develop into a reflective and resilient practitioner who can work in a variety of settings. This may include working with children, families, older people or individuals with mental health problems or learning disabilities.
More about this course
The focus of this professionally-accredited programme is to develop your practical skills for future use in the working environment. These skills are based upon up-to-date research, theories, policies and legislation.
You’ll develop knowledge of subjects including:
-
application of the law
-
assessment and planning
-
human growth and development
-
research evaluation
-
safeguarding vulnerable adults and children
-
social work theory
Importantly, we'll ensure you’ll understand how to apply the academic knowledge, skills and theory to real-world social work.
In the final year, you’ll write a dissertation on a topic of your choice. This is achieved through your own independent study. You'll be free to combine research and evidence, current policy, practice and theoretical perspectives.
