The MA Social Work will enable you to develop the necessary knowledge and skills needed to work with children and adults, recognising and working towards protecting children and vulnerable adults from harm and helping to improve their wellbeing and quality of life, as well as supporting their carers and families across the lifespan.  

On this course, you’ll develop specialised knowledge, skills and the resilience you need to develop and influence future social work practice through proactive leadership, digital technology, an international, national and local perspective, and a research-informed focus.  

Two professional placements will enhance your understanding of Social Work theory and practice. 

Your practice placements will be in two disparate settings, in areas such as children and families social work and social work with vulnerable adults. At least one of your placements will be in a setting that provides statutory learning opportunities and another may be with a charitable and private organisation, such as Catholic Care or other local voluntary agencies.

The MA Social Work is approved by Social Work England, the regulatory body for social workers in England. As well as gaining an MA qualification, successful completion of this degree programme will allow you to apply for entry onto the Social Work England register in your chosen field of social work.
