teaching and assessment


A variety of teaching methods is used throughout the programme and the emphasis is on experience and participation. You will learn in both individual and group contexts and, with the help of tutorial staff, you are expected to take appropriate responsibility for identifying and seeking to meet your own individual needs in light of previous learning and experience.


The skills of working effectively with others in collaborative practice are emphasised strongly throughout the degree.


In addition to lectures and seminars, you will be involved in ‘Enquiry and Action Learning’, role-play, video work and practical exercises on interpersonal and group skills training. Your learning will be enhanced using the latest techniques in simulated practice and information and communications technology. A range of on-line materials will be used to enhance the learning opportunities available, allowing you to easily access material outside the classroom setting.


Assessment methods range from formal examinations to audiovisual project work. The emphasis is on assessed coursework designed to build your knowledge and skills base progressively and systematically.


what’s so good about social work at dundee?


I believe the course has an effective learning process, balancing practical and theoretical knowledge and understanding of social work practice. I appreciate the efforts of lecturers and it is evident they have a passion for the subject being taught.


Final year student comment from the National Student Survey 2010


what is the best thing about your course and why?


The content is very interesting and it is easy to see how important social work is and how it can be applied in practice. The tutors are very supportive too.


Steve Anderson, 2nd year student – BA Social Work


There’s a real sense of community between students and lecturers. Studying social work can be quite demanding but rewarding at the same time. The practice placements make it all worthwhile.


Liane McGovern, from Middlesbrough, 2nd year student – BA Social Work
