Course Overview

Qualify as a social worker through this professionally accredited two-year MSc program by developing the practical skills and knowledge you need to play a crucial role in improving people's lives. The program offers a challenging and stimulating range of learning opportunities that will equip graduates with the key attributes necessary to work effectively in an increasingly globalized and pluralistic working environment. Under the supervision of a practice teacher, you will undertake 85 days of practice placement in year one and 115 days in year 2 of the program. In year one you will also complete three taught modules. To complete the MSc you will undertake a dissertation.

General Eligibility

Applicants will normally have an existing Honours degree at 2:1 or above in a relevant social science discipline.

In exceptional circumstances consideration will be given to applicants who do not meet this criteria; this will be based on experience and individual merit. No applicant will be admitted with less than a 2:2 in a cognate academic discipline.

The course is professionally recognised by the Scottish Social Service Council (SSSC), core to this recognition is that all applicants can demonstrate that they have literacy and numeracy skills equivalent to Scottish National Five in both English and Mathematics; this must be demonstrated at the point of entry to the postgraduate social work program.

In addition, you are strongly advised to provide information about modules studied at the Undergraduate level in your application.

International qualifications will be accepted providing that they provide equivalent credits to that specified within the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework; a satisfactory academic reference will be required in all cases.

You must demonstrate that you have an understanding of the social work role and that you have the potential to become a social worker.

All applicants will be interviewed before being offered a place on this MSc.
