Social Work (Northern Ireland) (R61)

Want to make a difference in people’s lives? Social workers support and protect society’s most deprived and vulnerable people. It's challenging and rewarding work, requiring high motivation and commitment, and a qualifying degree. Our Social Work degree is approved by the Northern Ireland Social Care Council (NISCC), and successful completion entitles you to apply for registration as a social worker. As part of this work-based programme, you’ll need to have current experience working in a social work/care capacity, and you'll also need the sponsorship of a relevant social work/care employer throughout your degree.
