Course Overview

Social work is a diverse profession offering many employment opportunities. The majority of our MA graduates obtain posts on completion as local authority social workers. However, some work in the PVI sector and some go on to study at the doctorate level.

We embed employability skills in our program; teaching practice skills including assessment and risk management, alongside self-care/well-being. The 170 days on placement develop employment skills and offer students direct contact with potential employers.
