We offer an exciting and stimulating degree that, on completion, leads to eligibility to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a qualified social worker. This course enables you to develop your knowledge, skills and values and demonstrate your professional capability. You will need to be hard working, adaptable, honest and, above all, passionate about finding long-term solutions and supporting positive changes for children, adults and families in the future.
Foundation year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so.
Teaching of this Foundation Year will be at our Warrington campus. Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, you will be able to progress onto the BA Social Work programme at our Warrington campus.
