**Do you want to make a positive difference to the lives of others?** The Leeds Social Work course is committed to supporting you to become a reflective social work practitioner. Our teaching partnership supports a range of placements in both the Adults and Children and Families sectors: these placements are an integral part of your training so you can become the best social worker you can be. Ranked 11th in the UK for Social Work (The Times & Sunday Times league tables 2021), being a Leeds graduate gives you an excellent springboard to build a rewarding career, caring, helping and improving the lives of others. We have a dynamic Social Work Team of active practitioners, innovative academics and experienced professionals who create a rich and fulfilling degree experience. We need students who want to make a difference to society, help people find solutions to their problems and live more successfully. Throughout your degree, we’ll help you develop the qualities that define a University of Leeds social worker – and to become a perceptive, astute problem solver and advocate for service users and their families and carers. Studying at Leeds means you’ll experience innovative teaching using virtual reality techniques and scenario planning in our in-house community flat to prepare for our stimulating and rewarding range of placements. These can include assessment and child protection, working with people with complex needs, and adult care management. As a research intensive school, you’ll have access to our cutting-edge social care research before it enters the public domain, giving you a distinct advantage in your professional life.

You’ll learn about the legal basis of social work and will demonstrate your competence in IT. You’ll examine the impact of disability and mental ill health on social service users. You’ll develop professional competence in areas such as decision making, ethics and values, and working with diversity. In year two, you’ll undertake a range of different modules, including decision making, working with children and families and adults, strengthening your understanding of social work theory. You’ll undertake a placement within either the voluntary or statutory sector to support your developing understanding of social work. In your third year you’ll study both child and family and adult social work and undertake a final year placement. In addition, you’ll complete a 10,000-word dissertation linking a literature review with a case study from your final year placement.

We use a range of assessment methods, including essays, posters, practical skills, examinations and multiple-choice questions. You’ll need to demonstrate the knowledge and application of standard concepts, information and techniques, as well as your emerging abilities, skills and competencies. You’ll need to produce work that is typically both evaluative and creative and show you can conduct independent, in-depth enquiry within the discipline.
