Course programme

The teaching of social work is long-established at the university with taught sessions taking place on the main campus, centrally located in the historic, bustling city of Canterbury. The MA social work programme has three main areas of learning - the study of academic subjects, development of skills through practice skills workshops, and practice placements. It is generic, enabling those completing successfully to work in a range of settings meeting the diverse needs of service users, families and carers. The course will provide you with the opportunity to build on previous experience and educational studies to develop the skills and knowledge required for effective social work practice. The course is flexible, providing for study through a full-time or part-time route with the option for students to change their route, subject to agreement. The minimum commitment for part-time students is two days a week. Employment opportunities On successful completion of the course students will be eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care professions Council (HCPC). There are excellent employment opportunities for registered social workers. The programme is a generic course enabling graduates to work in a full range of settings – social services departments of local authorities, health and social care multi-professional teams and many services in the voluntary and independent sector providing community, day care and residential services. Continuing professional development is a requirement for all professionals and the opportunity to progress to supervisory and managerial roles is reflected in The College of Social Work’s Capabilities Framework.
