As a social worker, you'll have opportunities to make a real difference to some of the most marginalised and vulnerable people in society. You could take your career in a number of directions such as working in child protection, with young people in care, older people, people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health difficulties, homeless people, people with drug dependencies, or with any other group of people with specialist needs.MA Social Work combines classroom learning and practical experience. You'll study the context of social work, legal and policy frameworks, social work theory, psychological and sociological theory, power, discrimination, and anti-oppressive practice. You'll consolidate this theoretical knowledge with two placements to put your learning into practice.
We require applicants to hold a minimum 2:2 undergraduate degree or equivalent. You also need Grade C or above in GCSE mathematics and English language, or equivalent qualifications.
