The focus is on developing your practical skills for future use in the working environment. These skills are based upon up-to-date research, theories, policies and legislation. You’ll develop knowledge of subjects including: - application of the law - assessment and planning - human growth and development - research evaluation - safeguarding vulnerable adults and children - social work theory Importantly, we'll ensure you’ll understand how to apply the academic knowledge, skills and theory to real-world social work.

You'll be free to combine research and evidence, current policy, practice and theoretical perspectives. **What our students say** “I come from an IT background.
