This course runs in close partnership with social work and social care agencies and local authorities based in inner and outer London boroughs as well as neighbouring counties where you will benefit from two practice learning placements – experiencing the world of social work first hand, learning from direct practice with qualified practitioners, service users, carers and other professionals. Practice based learning is integrated with college-based teaching and learning throughout the programme. The combination of a taught and practice curriculum breaks down barriers between practice, policy and research, meaning you will emerge from the course as a critically reflective practitioner who can work for the most vulnerable in society within an anti-oppressive framework. The Department of Social Work has a longstanding tradition of providing excellent social work education and training and has produced a wide range of research that has been highly influential in the development of social work practice. On completion of the MSc, you will have advanced knowledge of: + sociology, psychology, social policy and law and their application to social work practice + the contribution and application of social research to social work theories and practice + the range of statutory, voluntary and private welfare organisations within social work agencies and in health, housing and educational environments + the range of theories and methods needed for effective social work practice + the social and individual origins of a typical range of needs presented to social work agencies + values and ethics relevant to social work practice based on social justice + the significance of inequalities and difference in working with organisations and social service users + the significance of cultural diversity and anti-discriminatory practice in working with organisations, service users and carers.

Other essential costs: You will need to travel to and from placements and may wish to apply for an NHS bursary to help cover transport costs. How do I pay for it? Find out more about funding options, including loans, grants, scholarships and bursaries. These tuition fees apply to students enrolled on a full-time basis. Students studying on the standard part-time course structure over two years are charged 50% of the full-time applicable fee for each study year. All postgraduate fees are subject to inflationary increases. This means that the overall cost of studying the programme via part-time mode is slightly higher than studying it full-time in one year. Royal Holloway's policy is that any increases in fees will not exceed 5% for continuing students. For further information see tuition fees see our terms and conditions. Please note that for research programmes, we adopt the minimum fee level recommended by the UK Research Councils for the Home tuition fee. Each year, the fee level is adjusted in line with inflation (currently, the measure used is the Treasury GDP deflator). Fees displayed here are therefore subject to change and are usually confirmed in the spring of the year of entry. For more information on the Research Council Indicative Fee please see the RCUK website. For EU nationals starting a degree in 2021/22, the UK Government has recently confirmed that you will not be eligible to pay the same fees as UK students. This means you will be classified as an international student. At Royal Holloway, we wish to support those students affected by this change in status through this transition. For eligible EU students starting their course with us during the academic year 2021/22, we will award a fee reduction scholarship which brings your fee into line with the fee paid by UK students. This will apply for the duration of your course. These estimated costs relate to studying this particular degree programme at Royal Holloway. Costs, such as accommodation, food, books and other learning materials and printing, have not been included.
