Are you interested in how people develop and what influences their behaviour? Do you want to help people at risk of harm? Are you interested in legislation and social policy? This hugely popular course, one of UEL’s flagship degrees, will give you a rewarding insight into contemporary social work and train you to become a reflective, capable and effective practitioner. You’ll learn how to support, protect and speak up for people in significant personal difficulty. We will give you the theory and information you need through lectures and seminars, but this course is all about hands-on experience – or ‘learning by doing’, as we call it. You will undertake supervised placements in your second and third years, applying your learning by working on real-life projects. By doing this, you’ll be able to narrow down your areas of interest for your post-university career. Thanks to an accreditation agreement between the University of East London and the Health and Care Professions Council, your degree will allow you to practise as a qualified social worker immediately after you graduate.

Year 1: Professional Development: Readiness for Practice - skills module (Core), Introduction to Social Work Theory (Core), Human Growth and Development with Communication Skills (Core) and Social Contexts and Social Policy (Core). Year 2: Initial Professional Practice Placement (Core), Social Work Law (Core), Practice Skills Development Substance Misuse and Mental Health (Core) and Research Methods for Social Work (Core). Year 3: Final Professional Practice Placement (Core), Advanced Theory: Analysis and Application (Core), Social Work with Children and Families (Option), Social Work with Adults (Option) and Dissertation (Core).

We use a range of different assessment approaches. These include case studies, essays, group presentation, practice placement portfolios and a final-year dissertation. Most assessment is carried out through coursework. In order to undertake your first placement in your second year, you’ll first have to pass all of the first-year modules. Similarly, before you can undertake your final-year placement, you’ll have to have completed your second-year modules and placement.
