Social workers support and protect some of society’s most deprived and vulnerable people. It’s immensely challenging and rewarding work, requiring a high level of motivation and commitment. We offer a distance learning, work-based route to the degree in social work alongside our employer partners. It opens up a host of opportunities to people who, for one reason or another, require a more flexible and individualised approach to social work training. Successful graduates are eligible to apply for registration as a qualified social worker with Social Care Wales (SCW). **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

This degree has three stages, each comprising 120 credits. You’ll start Stage 1 with a module introducing health and social care followed by a module which explores the ideas and ways of working with people that underpins social work practice with a range of different service user groups. At Stage 2, you’ll study a module covering the law and social work in England and Wales before taking a practice module, which includes a 90-day placement. Finally, in Stage 3, you’ll choose one module from a choice of three and conclude your degree with a practice module where you will undertake another 90-day placement.
