Social work is all about people. It is an extremely rewarding and challenging profession. You’ll need to be hard working, adaptable, honest and, above all, passionate about finding long-term solutions and supporting positive changes for children, adults and families. At the core of our course is the opportunity for you to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding of how to support people to improve personal, practical, psychological and social aspects of their lives. You study a wide range of specialist areas within health and social care, choosing the areas that interest you most through placements and evidence-based research.
