Master of Social Work (Hons)

Program Overview

The Master in Social Work (Hons) is a professional qualification which entitles you to apply to register as a social worker: a challenging and rewarding career.
This four-year course, which includes two years of postgraduate study, provides an advanced alternative to standard three-year BA Social Work degrees. Social work is a multidisciplinary field of research and practice and so in the first two years you will study a range of topics drawing on sociology, social psychology and social policy to develop your understanding of the context in which social workers practice.
You are also able to choose one option module in Year 1 and Year 2 enabling you follow and expand your interests. The final two years are the postgraduate part of the programme where you specialise in social work theory and practice. You'll gain a Masters-level qualification which is highly valued by employers. You'll have the opportunity to gain practice experience in a voluntary sector placement in your second year, followed by placements within diverse social work settings in Year 3 and 4.Service users and carers contribute directly to our teaching, giving you an unparalleled insight into the complexities of social work. Join a thriving School, internationally recognised for its teaching and research excellence and gain a solid foundation from which to begin your professional journey.
