Working in a range of settings across various sectors, which may include statutory, private, voluntary, and charitable sectors, you’ll promote and advocate human rights and social justice. It can be difficult to appreciate the difference social workers make until you’ve experienced social work in action and that’s why you’ll complete two placements in your second and third years of study.  

During your time on the course, you’ll develop an understanding of the knowledge base of social work alongside developing practical skills whilst on placements. Some of the topics you’ll explore will include how to communicate with people with a range of needs, the importance of working with colleagues from other disciplines and the importance of supervision and of reflective practice. You’ll consider theories including sociological and psychological perspectives, and factors that might impact on the life course from pre-birth through to death. You’ll consider the impact of politics, social policy and how welfare is delivered in the UK and internationally, whilst developing an understanding of the legal framework for social work and how the law is used to safeguard, support and to protect.
