Course Overview

Train to be a qualified social worker and gain a thorough grasp of the knowledge, skills, and values that sit at the core of this rewarding career. Recognizing the powerful links between personal and political issues, the course will assert the need to challenge inequality and safeguard vulnerable people. In your first year, you will study the legal frameworks, policies, and theories - in particular psychosocial perspectives - that underpin social work. A practice placement will offer you the chance to hone your communication skills as you start to apply your knowledge in the field. In your second year, you will continue to extend and refine your understanding of the law and social work theories and methods of intervention. You will also undertake a second practice placement and complete a dissertation.
