A career in social work is demanding, but hugely rewarding. Delivered alongside our partners in the Cheshire & Merseyside Social Work Teaching Partnership, this degree provides the knowledge, skills and expertise to practice successfully in any field of social work, whether with children and families or in the varied field of adult social work, including mental health. It highlights the importance of interaction with a range of agencies to ensure graduates can work effectively in the multidisciplinary environment of contemporary social work and emphasises the application of theory in real-world settings. You will develop the values and skills required to engage meaningfully with the realities of contemporary social work and be taught by staff with extensive experience of professional practice. Upon graduation you will be eligible to apply for registration with Social Work England.
