A Social Work degree opens the door to a profession which is varied and aims to improve people’s lives. It is more than simply ‘helping people’ and will involve a striving to create change. You may find yourself supporting someone who is distressed, or perhaps empowering someone in need of advice or even involved in protection work to ensure people and children are safe, well and healthy. Social Workers not only focus on day-to-day matters, but also consider the bigger issues that affect people’s lives such as poverty, trauma and disadvantage. However, it is our core values and practical skills which make social work distinctive from other professions. Social Work students possess transferable skills which are valued by many employers and at the University of Suffolk, graduates experience high levels of employment.
The course is underpinned by a commitment to social justice, where we bring together theory and practical skills through learning and teaching excellence, high-quality research and contemporary professional skills and practice learning experiences. If you share our passion for understanding and addressing the effects of oppression, racism and discrimination and strive to promote fairness and equity this course is ideal for you, and opens the door to a diverse career in social work.
In addition to our academics who are leading in their field, the course is embedded with people with lived experience and practitioner involvement to prepare you to reach your potential as a confident and capable Social Worker.
