Course Overview

Every country’s approach to social work, welfare, and development is different, and there is a growing demand in both developed and developing countries for social welfare and social development professionals. This course helps you acquire the skills and knowledge you need to follow an internationally orientated-career in these diverse, wide-ranging areas.

Your studies on this Master’s give you a broad level of understanding by exposing you to the variety of ways in which social welfare and development issues are approached in different contexts, including in the Global South. There is also a focus on social issues with an international dimension such as human rights; social justice; human trafficking; and humanitarian aid.

The practical skills element of the course enables you to apply theory to practice and to develop the core skills, initiative, and professionalism necessary to carry out social welfare work in a range of settings including government, non-governmental (NGOs) or voluntary organizations.
