This three year honours degree programme is offered in collaboration with Ulster University. Years one and two are studied at Belfast Met, whilst year three studies are undertaken at Ulster University’s Magee Campus and in practice learning sites. Although the programme includes underpinning learning in the social sciences, such as social policy, psychology, sociology and law, the focus of the programme is on the development of skills, values and knowledge required for social work practice. In year one you must successfully complete a preparation for practice skills module prior to undertaking supervised practice learning on placement. You will undertake two practice placements – in year two this will last for 85 days and in year three it will last for 100 days.

Financial support may be available through your local EA office and the DoH Student Incentive Scheme.
