Program Overview
This two-year Master’s degree in Social Work will equip you with the skills and experience you need to become a professional social worker and make a real difference in the lives of children and families, mental health patients, people with disabilities or vulnerable adults.
The course combines theory and practice – you’ll learn about the latest legislation, planning and policy, and put it all into practice in professional settings, with real people.
You’ll undertake two separate work placements – one in your first year and one in your second year, most likely with local NHS social service providers.
The NHS bursary for postgraduate social work students can help with the cost of your fees, your living costs, and includes a contribution towards your placement travel expenses.
When you successfully complete the course, you'll be eligible to apply to register as a social worker with the professional regulatory body, Social Work England.
