Social workers play a vital role in protecting vulnerable people in society. Our BA Social Work is regulated by Social Work England and includes all the essential professional elements required to qualify as a social worker. It combines academic modules that will develop core knowledge, values and skills, with practice-based learning in a variety of settings. As a social worker, you could be working with children, older people, carers and people with disabilities in a role that is challenging but also incredibly rewarding.

A total of 360 academic credits are taken over three years, divided into 120 credits per year. This is the equivalent of 40 hours of University-based study per week, or 40 hours per week of practice-based learning. You will spend the first year based at the University, where you will explore social work's key functions and develop skills for social work practice. You will also study core aspects of sociology and social policy which underpin the profession's knowledge base. In year two, you will be based at the University during the first semester, and study central aspects of social work's knowledge base, including the law, social work theories and human development. You will go out on placement for 80 days during the second semester. In year three, you will again be based at the University during the first semester, and will have the opportunity to focus on studying key issues within social work with adults or children and families. You will also study central themes for all social workers, such as safeguarding. You will go out on placement for 90 days during the second semester.
