Social Work BA (Hons) Social Work Studies
What’s it about?
If you wish to pursue a career as a social worker, then this professional degree is the nationally recognised qualification, validated by the General Social Care Council (GSCC). This programme also involves input from service users and carers, including the Citizens as Trainers (CATS) group and external social work practitioners.
Social work is a demanding job which involves developing a range of academic and professional skills. In addition, the importance of holding appropriate values is essential as social work deals with people from a variety of backgrounds, religion and cultures. Hence it is important that you understand and respect different cultures and ways of life.
What will I learn?
You will learn about how to help people to live more successfully within their communities, assisting them to find solutions to their problems. This will require you to acquire skills in the areas of advising, advocating, supporting, counselling, safeguarding vulnerable people and care planning.
You will develop an understanding of a range of social work theories, skills and interventions and reflect on the key relationship between practice and theory.
The programme includes practice learning throughout, which allows you to put your learning into practice in real-life situations.

How will I learn?
The programme has an integrated approach to teaching and learning, focusing on lectures, seminars and tutorials as well as independent learning methods.
Can I get work experience?
You will undertake practice placements, which are organised by the University. These will allow you to gain practical experience of the social work role in working with service users and carers. They will also provide you with the opportunity to explore and relate theory to a practice setting.
To study on the part-time route you must already be employed in a social care setting and have the support of your employer.
Social work is a regulated profession. As a social work student you will be expected to register with the General Social Care Council (GSCC), the social work profession’s regulator, and adhere to the standards set out in the Code of Practice for Social Workers.
As well as regulating individual social workers and students, we also regulate the performance of social work courses, the reports of which are published on our website, so you can check to see how each university is performing.

What about funding?
If you are a UK or EU student you are eligible to apply for a bursary, which includes an element towards tuition fees.
The part-time route is employment based and employers may pay the tuition fees or some students self fund. The part-time route does not provide a bursary.
Where can I get a job?
As a professionally qualified social worker, you will be eligible to work in a variety of environments such as statutory, voluntary, or the private sector. Within these sectors you could work in social work, social care, criminal justice, health or education settings.
