A common misconception is that social work is all about supporting young people and their families. And while many social workers do choose to work in children’s services, this is not your only career option. Social workers help people – no matter who that person may be. From those experiencing homelessness to care leavers, to mental ill health and substance abuse, you’ll be able to make a real difference to individuals, families and communities in need.
Our degree programme is designed to support you to become a confident and competent practitioner, equipped to work with children and adults in a variety of environments. After graduating, you’ll be able to register with the social work regulator, Social Work England - a requirement for practising social workers.
You’ll be taught by experienced social work academics and current practitioners with a breadth of experience across the sector. You’ll also have regular opportunities to learn firsthand from service users and carers from the local community through the University’s IMPACT scheme.
Much of your learning will take place in small group seminars, meaning you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn from your fellow students through informal discussions and debates. We make the most of our excellent on-campus facilities through our simulated learning exercises. Whether you’re role-playing an at-home visit in our simulated adapted semi-detached house, or learning how to give evidence in our replica courtroom, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to hone your practical skills before heading out on placement.
