Social Work, MA

You attend two work placements: 70 days in year one and 100 days in year two. These are in contrasting settings and with groups of people with differing needs. We work with agencies across the public, private and voluntary sectors, training you on statutory tasks in practice. Some placement services include domestic abuse, drug and alcohol services, child protection, schools, adoption and fostering, mental health settings and the NHS. Partnerships are reviewed annually and may change.

Applicants should have:

A good honours degree (2:2 or above) from a UK university or an equivalent qualification
GCSE English and mathematics at grade C or above, or equivalent
A minimum of one year's full-time or part-time experience or equivalent in a social care or advocacy related activity, either paid or voluntary.
