Course Overview

Our interesting, stimulating, and progressive course is designed to encourage your learning and personal development, helping you explore your professional identity and resilience while recognizing that people with lived experience of health and social care services are the experts in their own lives.

We will equip you with the relevant skills, knowledge, and abilities required to practice competently, sensitively, and ethically within the complexities of contemporary social work practice. Central to this is a commitment to developing your competence and confidence in anti-discriminatory, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive person-centered practice.

Our BA (Hons) Social Work graduates have gone on to work in a variety of settings locally and nationally. There are varied and exciting employment opportunities for registered social workers. The generic nature of the course means graduates can pursue a career in a full range of settings, such as social services departments within local authorities, health services, and in the voluntary and independent sectors providing community, daycare, and residential services.

There are also opportunities for further study and you can pursue a post-qualifying course at Canterbury Christ Church University or study within a specialized area of social work at other universities.
