Summary
Social work is challenging and rewarding and requires a personal commitment to the ideals and values of the social work profession.

The programme offers professional social work education for applicants with a primary degree in Social Sciences or equivalent. Upon completion of the Master in Social Work/Postgraduate Diploma in Social Work successful candidates will be eligible to apply for registration as a professional social worker.

The Masters in Social Work Programme prepares its student cohort for registration as professional social workers with CORU, the regulatory body for Health and Social Care professionals. All health care professionals have a stated duty of care to the public and as such, all new entrants to the social work programmes in the School of Social Work and Social Policy, must successfully complete the required health screening and vaccination to certify their vaccination status or immunity to specified infectious diseases. This is in the interests of reducing the risk of the transmission of infectious disease from patients to students, and from students to patients. Information about the health screening is available on the Master in Social Work webpage.
