Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Social Work
Program Overview
Are you interested in how people develop and what influences their behaviour? Do you want to help people at risk of harm? Are you interested in legislation and social policy?
This hugely popular course, one of UEL's flagship degrees, will give you a rewarding insight into contemporary social work and train you to become a reflective, capable and effective practitioner. You’ll learn how to support, protect and speak up for people in significant personal difficulty.
We'll give you the theory and information you need through lectures and seminars, but this course is all about hands-on experience - or 'learning by doing', as we call it.
You'll undertake supervised placements in your second and third years, applying your learning by working on real-life projects. By doing this, you'll be able to narrow down your areas of interest for your post-university career.
Thanks to an accreditation agreement between the University of East London and the Health and Care Professions Council, your degree will allow you to practise as a qualified social worker immediately after you graduate.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
On your journey from student to practitioner, you'll be taught everything you need to know for a career in social work - current legislation and government policy, information sharing and confidentiality requirements, ways of communicating, social policy theories and research methods.
But knowledge is just one side of the coin. Hands-on skills and experience are an equally important part of a social worker' toolkit. That's why 'learning by doing' is at the heart of our course.
For example, you'll learn about safeguarding and when to take action, how to observe, when to observe, how and when to listen, how to promote social justice and how to practise in a non-discriminatory manner.
You'll learn reflective practice – essentially, thinking more carefully about situations. You'll receive plenty of support to help you develop emotional resilience and an ability to work with others to solve problems.
Other key skills you'll gain are the analysis and interpretation of evidence, as well as the art of critical thinking to draw on the appropriate knowledge and improve your performance as a social worker.
