Course Overview

You will study and prepare yourself for a professional career with a supportive and qualified core staff team. As well as excellent Learning Resources and Student Support and Guidance provision at the University, staff on the course have a wide range of specialisms and expertise.

You will be provided with frequent opportunities to discuss issues that arise in learning about social work in small discussion groups/action learning sets with other students. We also offer high quality practice placements supported by the Cheshire & Merseyside Social Work Teaching Partnership (CMSWTP), which comprises four Higher Education Institutions, eight Local Authorities, three NHS Trusts and a voluntary sector organisation covering Liverpool City Region, West Lancashire, Warrington, Cheshire West and Chester.

Our graduates go into careers in a number of social work settings, working with both children and adults, in Local Authority or Health Trust agencies, as well as private and voluntary organisations, such as fostering or refugee agencies. The course embeds careers and employability support across all three years so that students feel confident of their strengths and abilities when they apply for work and attend interviews.
