- Both an academic and professional qualification, so it's ideal if you're interested in pursuing a professional career in social work.- We'll equip you with the knowledge, values and skills you'll need to practise as a reflective and ethical social worker, equipped for the challenges of contemporary social work practice.- Our social work programmes are highly regarded by potential employers within London and further afield, and our graduates have an excellent record of securing employment.- The degree includes practice placements in two settings and with different service user groups, so you'll be able to gain invaluable real-world experience.- You will cover topics including: social work practice methods; anti-oppressive practice; social theories; developmental perspectives; research methodologies; and social policy. The knowledge that you gain will help you develop the broad set of skills and perspectives needed for successful social work practice in a variety of settings.- We'll encourage you to think deeply about human rights and social justice, and to embed these values in your practice.- Social work education at Goldsmiths has a long and distinguished record – you'll be taught by established social work academics and associate lecturers who have considerable research and/or practice experience in their fields.- The degree also prepares you according to the Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF), the Quality Assurance Agency subject benchmark for social work, and the Department of Health's requirements for social work training.- You will study with a cohort of other social work students from London and elsewhere, and some of your modules will also allow you will also study alongside students from other programmes, including Youth Work and Community Studies. Interdisciplinarity is a strength of our programme.Please note the BA Social Work only accepts applications for first year entry and does not accept applications for deferred entry.
