Social Work

Study social work with practice-based placements and good employment prospects. Most of our graduates secure jobs in local authority social work, the voluntary sector and social welfare agencies.

This social work degree provides academic knowledge and practical skills you will need for a social work career. You will explore a range of social issues, within children and families and adult social work.

Our teaching staff are active in research and experts in their fields while social work placements with local authorities will give you the skills required to practise as a social worker. Graduates can apply to register with the social work regulator, Social Work England.

We offer an employment-based route where applicants are sponsored by their social care employer to complete the course in four years. The employer would be responsible for finding the placement.
