Social Work (Taught)

Through assessing risk and need, promoting social justice and promoting social justice, social workers make an immense contribution to people's lives. We are also seeing growing demand for dedicated social workers with empathy, patience, practical skills and social skills.

The MSW in Social Work is a two-year, full-time postgraduate degree course recognised throughout the UK. In due course, it’s expected to meet the criteria for recognition in the EU and elsewhere overseas.

Based on the Standards in Social Work Education (SiSWE) and validated by social work's professional body in Scotland, the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), the course provides a stimulating blend of university-based teaching and agency-based learning opportunities across both years.
