Our Social Work MSc degree is accredited by Social Work England. Once you've successfully completed the course, you can then join the Social Work England register that all qualified social workers must register with to practise in England. Would you like to help disadvantaged communities and people achieve and create enduring and sustained change in their lives? You may be a social worker inside. Social work is a virtuous and rewarding career that plays a crucial role in creating positive change and transforming lives. Social workers are dedicated to advocating for the well-being of individuals, families, and communities. They also contribute to shaping policies and systems that promote social equity and fairness. Our course is rooted in the principles of equality and social justice. It covers a wide range of social work subjects, helping you to become a reflective and resilient practitioner who can work in a variety of settings. This may include working with children, families, older people or individuals with mental health problems or learning disabilities. The focus of this professionally-accredited Social Work MSc programme is to help you develop practical skills that are necessary for a successful career in the social care sector. Training is based on up-to-date research, academic theories, policy and legislation. You’ll develop knowledge in several relevant subjects including the application of law, assessment and planning, lifespan development, how to evaluate research, safeguarding vulnerable adults and children, as well as social work theory.
