Are you passionate about social justice, challenging oppression and discrimination, and making a difference? Are you looking for a rewarding career where you improve the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in society? If you want a degree that combines theory and research with practical skills and outstanding job prospects, this course is for you.
Our Social Work BA is an approved social work qualification. It allows you to practise as a social worker in the UK and internationally with a variety of groups including:
- children and families
- refugees
- older people
- people with disabilities
- people experiencing mental health difficulties, homelessness, or drug and alcohol issues.
Our teaching draws on our research expertise – you will be taught by experts in the field. We’re proud of our flagship teaching partnership with local employers. Through two practice learning placements, you will have the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned. This will give you a comprehensive understanding of social work practice. At Sussex, we understand that social work is a rewarding but challenging profession. Having a low student to staff ratio allows us to get to know you, and support you to meet your potential in a caring and nurturing environment.
While our students usually study this BA full time, we also offer you the opportunity to study for this degree part time. You’ll apply via UCAS, and we’ll then discuss options around full-time and part-time study as part of the interview process. If part time is the best option for you, we’ll arrange for you to move to the part-time version of the course.
The majority of our graduates find jobs in the local area. Many of our alumni have gone on to have successful careers in policy, academia and leadership roles.
