Our MSc Social Work is an integrated two-year, full-time programme which provides graduates with the opportunity to qualify as a registered social worker as well as gain a Masters degree. Through a combination of academic and practice-based modules, the programme teaches the knowledge and skills necessary to work as an effective and research-minded practitioner, able to act effectively within the complex demands of social work practice. The programme develops your skills in the social work field through support from a professionally qualified and committed staff team. As the programme provides an accelerated route to qualification over two years, compared to the four-year Honours degree, the programme is both intensive and challenging. It is therefore essential that you have a combination of academic and practice experience that will enable you to study effectively at Masters level.

Graduates can expect to work in a range of settings across the statutory and voluntary sectors. Opportunities exist to work with adults and children in social work teams and specialist settings.
