Social workers support and protect some of society’s most deprived and vulnerable people; it’s immensely challenging and rewarding work. It requires a high level of motivation and commitment, and you'll also need a qualifying degree. Our BA (Honours) Social Work (England) is approved by Social Work England (SWE), and successful completion entitles you to apply to the regulatory body for registration as a social worker. You'll also need to be working in a social care agency, and be registered and supported by your employer, to take this course. **Key features of the course** - Continue in your employment while you study, earning while you learn - Study through work-based and distance learning - Develop the knowledge and practical skills that underpin effective practice - Learn to deal professionally with complex, difficult and sensitive issues - Improve your career progression opportunities within social work

You’ll start Stage 1 with a module introducing health and social care followed by a module which introduces social work standards and codes of practice. Stage 2 starts with a module covering the law and social work in England and Wales and is followed by a practice module, which includes a 70-day placement. At Stage 3, you’ll choose one module from a choice of three and conclude your degree with a practice module where you will undertake a 100-day placement.
