Course summary

Want to make a rewarding and positive contribution to society? Social workers support children and families through child protection procedures, fostering and adoption and youth justice to name but a few. They also support adults with issues including disability, drug and alcohol dependency, mental health, homelessness and safeguarding. You'll spend over 170 days on real-life placements with adults and children so you graduate ready to start your professional career. Get a head start – on successful completion of the course you can apply to become a registered social worker. Stand out from the crowd with a degree recognised by Social Work England. Benefit from the expertise of our network of partner agencies across the social work spectrum, learning from professionals to develop your skills. Gather insights and develop a real understanding of social work through our highly commended approach to integrated learning. Build your hands-on knowledge and experience on an excellent variety of placements, working in real-life adult and childcare settings in all three years. Engage with real service users and carers at every stage of your learning, so you graduate primed to put effective strategies to use in the workplace. Learn about the increasing influence of global issues on social work and be inspired by staff who are leading the way in international social work. Develop as a professional – equip yourself with the skills to be a reflective and ethical practitioner, committed to lifelong learning. Train and practice your professional healthcare skills in an inspiring purpose-built environment, InterCity Place. To complement your formal learning we offer regular PALS sessions that provide the opportunity for you to learn with and from your peers. Share knowledge, discuss ideas, and ask questions in a relaxed and friendly environment.
